Hmm well that seems resonable and I figured that it would matter that all other parts are up to par. So your basically telling that the stock cam is going to be the best on a stock engine that only has exhaust and gt40 heads?

You would see minimal gains with anything else. If your wallet is fat, get a new custom one. If it's skinny, run it and enjoy what you have.

What do you want to do with this car? Race it? Street car? Grocery getter/kid hauler?

RE: Cam

Some dragracing but vary rarely mostly for crusing around. This is not my main ride so I can have it parked to work on it, but I do enjoy driving it to work everynow and then.
