RE: blower cams or should i wait
I am still a bit confused though. Are you just putting the KB on or are you building the shortblock/fuel system etc and going all out?
If your really going all out your gonna want a set of custom grinds, not the generic stages stuff. In that case, I would wait until you put the entire setup together.

believe it or not when you valet you make some pretty good money i make 7 n hr and i get pretty good tips between 100 to 150 a night. and i work 4 days a week. and i work 12 hr shifts. so i get a pretty good check. and all my tips is straight cash we dont have to claim it. so in a week i get 400 dollars. and i have a savings account taht i saved up from valet to pay for my next 2 yrs of school. so its a pretty good deal when school starts school in the morning and work at nights.

Your going to have a hard time hitting 600 WHP with the stock cams in place, I have yet to see a stock cam/stock head/stock intake car make anything close to 600 WHP.
The other thing about cams is the change the powerband so much. You really pull hard all the way to redline, and with a forged shortblock and 7500+ RPM potential it makes a massive difference in the powerband.

wait... really IMO there is no NEED for cams on the stock motor power wise, the intercooler would be a better investment.. however the cams make a nice sound and will allow you to run a little less boost and hit the same numbers... that being said Ive seen built motor stock cam cars hit 500-600rwhp so they are not necessary, but still nice
