Cam Thoughts
Is there anyone here that can give me thoughts on this CAM
(Comp Cam 220-224 on a 114 +1)
I will be running these with stock heads, Shorty BBK Header, Varaam, Borl Quad Stinger and a DYNO Tune with EFI Live. Charlie at A&A e-mailed me and told it was perfect with the stock heads and told me in his own words
(QUOTE)
(Stay with the shorty headers. They are a good combination with the cam you have chosen (good choice)!
(END QUOTE)
So, I was wondering if anyone had one installed or if anyone could estimate after the complete install where I will finish on the dyno! I do not want to be in the excessive 400+hp crew, I just want to get to around 380HP! Also, should I change my intake as well, and if so too which one!
Thaks guys!

For head swap, you'll need a few more gaskets.
