Lol, a high-rpm cam with a 2200 rpm stall is a recipe for a dog on the street. You need to stick with something under .515 lift or so and reasonable duration. Jmho

watch out... stanger88 will tell you to put an x cam in with gt-40p heads... so that way you dont have any more power than him

Go with a trick flow stage 1 and 1.6 roller rockers. However you wont make **** for power on stock heads.

Hey genius, look at what I advised and think about it, also think about the fact that I made just as much hp as a FRPP SVO crate with aluminum heads. Go find the post genius, he made 270whp with an electric fan (I have flex) and he has a shortbelt (I didnt) and he had a T5 with 3.55's . If I had the black magic electric fan and the shortbelt and a lighter tranny/less gear I would easily have hit the same 270 whp. You need to look at things again there man.

Flex fan= AT LEAST 10whp less than electric
short belt = AT LEAST 5whp
and the tranny/gears are another 5whp on a dyno AT LEAST

so his MOTOR made 5whp more than me....big hoo hah, try again asshat.

Apparently none of you know much about how dyno-jets work. 4.10's will cost about 8-10whp. Ask ANY dyno operator. And my cam does a damn good job. My combo ****ing rocks considering he has aluminum heads and his motor only makes 5whp more than mine (considering an electric fan and short-belt would get me right up there to about 260-265). An electric fan is worth about 15whp over a clutch fan, much less my huge stainless flex fan. You guys just have a problem accepting that other people make power in other ways. Sorry for your narrowmindedness. I know you have all done the math and seen the logic in it, so why not man up? Hell, when im wrong I man up to it. You totally missed the point that my motor has more compression than yours dreamed of. Maybe THATS why I can get away with a bit more lift...look it up sometime. Call and ask an engine-builder since you dont know, increased compression "hides" lift. True, my heads suck, but I only make 5 or so hp less than this SVO aluminum headed crate motor, im pumped
