does that cam lope at all? like would you hear it outside the car?
do you need to get heads done WITH that cam? or could the heads wait one year until they are ported/polished?

also how much hp over stock would that make if used with stock heads and rest of engine relatively stock... fully rebuilt. ???

As far as having a very noticeable lope I doubt it would, i doubt it's got very much overlap, if any at all. You would need to change the vavle springs, but as far as having stock heads, or waiting to get them ported , you could, the cam doesn't "need"

As far as power gains, on a stock motor, probalby about 25hp, and a lot broader of a powerband. headwork, headers and stuff will help that out considerably. and most likely make it more responsive

Website is www.compcams.com
