The SLP runners work better with a larger cam.

I'm moving this to the TPI forum.

The original post was created in a different folder and the moderator moved then ENTIRE thread to the TPI folder (It actually was just copied to the TPI folder and then locked in the folder it was originally posted in. From here you just don't see where it was originally posted.)

As for the original question, I think the specific answer is that you will see a bigger gain with the right cam, but it is still possible to see some small gains with the stock cam (moreso if you upgrade the runners and the base, the intake base being the most restrictive component in the intake)

i've heard a lot of people recommending going with a higher stall converter as well
