The stock cam is pretty efficient, but yes, you are losing out on a lot. NOt that it wont run, it just wont run LIKE IT COULD.

The intake runners each lead to a port (1 of 2 per cylinder), in this case, the intake port. The valve opens allowing the air into the cylinder, where it is burned. It is then expelled out of the OTHER port (the exhaust port) and into your headers (of exhaust manifold) and out the pipes. THe more air that can go in and out of the cylinder, the more power you can make, the better flowing the heads are, the more air can do this, thus the more power you make.
