Rudder- the cam is a edelbrock performer series matched and sold as a power package with there TB-efi manifold-alum heads-and cam. I talked with someone that just installed the cam with no other mods and the diff was very subtle. Its a mild grind so I'm hoping it will help as a package without other issues. Your build sounds awesome. Higerflow injectors and maf sounds like a lot of tuning trail and error. What where your dyno results ? Sounds like a beast .

Iagainsti, The Cam Sounds Like It Should Be Fine As Long As The Durations Aren't To Radical. Hope You Have Great Luck With Your Build. My Hp On The Dyno Came Out To 273.4 At The Rear Wheels. The Trq. Figure Came Out Low Because At The Time I Had A Slipping Posi Unit. I Just Got A Set Of Crane 1.6 Roller Rockers For X-mas And I Have A Set Of Ported Ford Gt-40x Heads That Are Going On Her In A Couple Wks. I'll Get Back To A Thread After The Dyno Run.lol

Hello Again, I Honestly Don't Know My Mil. After The Mods. On The Highway, But Around Town They Aren't Very Good. I Only Live 4 Miles From Work So I Don't Use The Highway Much. If I Were To Give An Est., I Woud Say About 12. If I Am Romping On It Around Town I Bet I Could Get That City Mileage Down To About 6-7, If I'm Lucky. Good Thing Traveling Isn't A Big Art Of My Life, Otherwise I'd Be Driving An Accord. Heads And Rockers Are Going On In 2 Weeks With A Dyno Tune In The Afternoon. If Everything Works Smooth I'll Have Some Numbers For You. Gas Mileage Should Really Be Good Then....ha
