Anyone running a CompuCam 2032 cam in L98??

I am running a CompuCam 2032 cam in my Pontiac L98 and I am not getting that much better horsepower difference from the original roller cam. Has anyone else had better luck with this cam. Look at signature below for additions I have made with cam. I am thinking about swapping cams for something larger maybe????? I was looking for about 400HP and more torque but it does not feel that way at all.

Sounds about right, that cam is puny. You're not going to see much improvment over stock.

There are literally dozens out there that would work nicely. If you plan to keep the stock long runner setup (not convert to a miniram or anything down the road) then I say go with the LT4 HOT cam.

Its 218/228 duration at 0.050", and .492/.492 lift with 1.5 rockers, .525/.525 lift with 1.6 rockers, 112 LSA. Looks like its $175 from Scoggin-Dickey. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

It's up around $500 in a kit with Al 1.6 rockers, springs and retainers...

The 2032 isn't that bad on duration but lift is kinda weak for a decently built motor, especially with 1.5s. It's only around .450/.460 IIRC...
