speed density... not mass air like your car... so since its not mass air, not as much is compatable w. my car...

hows this?

the sticky says itll work w. SD.. and it seems to be the biggest lift i can use w. sd, again acording to the sticky... and has the smallest separation i can get w. SD too....
I'd go with a cam with more duration, that one is on the weak side


Why does SD limit ur cam?

your going to regret it though, your going to go with a cam put it all together and not like it and have to do it all over again so honestly do it all the first time, it slike $350 to get a chip burned, car tuned & dyno'd atleast here it is.
