I have a rebuilt 302, stock comp, paxton sn2000 8psi, holley systemax intake, tfs tw heads, 42lbers, with full bolt ons otherwise. 400+ to the tires is what I'm aiming for. <br /><br />I went with an F Cam on Turbo50's recommendation. It's a cam proven to work well with boost and I picked up one with low miles for a little over $100. I know there are lots of better cams, but my car is a daily driver that will only see the track 3-5 times a year at most, so not much reason to go all out on everything. Especially if you consider I'm still on the stock E block. <br /><br />More HP just means more tire spin on the street since I currently run street tires. As of right now I can be in 3rd gear, stab the throttle and send the tires spinning and I only have 3.27's. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
