FWIW, seems like one of the worst "cost/benefit" mods for our engines. OTOH, if you've already done everything else... I guess why not?


Did you do any head work to accent the gains of the cam? I think a nice heavily ported set of heads, 5 angle valve job and a ported s/c would do some wonderful things when a nice big cam is also thrown in the mix.

I know it's a totally different car but on my Charger I did port/polish heads and a Comp custom grind cam together and picked up 75hp.
