With a mild cam (228/232) and bolt-ons I made 417rwhp. I added TFS heads and FAST and I'm at 456rwhp. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gone with a blower over the heads/cam/intake.

I would like to hear your reasoning? I have a procharged car and love it, but it seems like a head/cam car would be far more usable on the street?

What are your thoughts.

New Era has a close relationship with Flowtech. They sell all his off the shelf grinds plus, in the matter of a week or two, they can have anything custom ground to Ed's spec (Owner of Flowtech).

I've never seen a car where is products have failed to shine.

He did the H/C package in my GTO and will absolutely do the package for my Z.
