Did the title catch your eye?
(spelling might be off throughout the post due to the fact that I'm a little wasted) Basically, I have re-prioritized My engine buildup. I used to want a forged 347-331 stroker with AFR 185 Heads ect. (basicly the biggest and baddest feasable) But after Putting on a new suspension and getting the disc brakes I realized that If I only had about 100HP more (*NO* NOS) and a 5-Speed, I would have a satisfactory little street machine (gotta love the 2550 lb curb wieght). So my question basically boils down to a question of a camshaft. (I dont like the "If I" kind of question and promise this is the only one I will ever make, BUT,) If I have a 650 Speed demon carb on top of an edelbrock RPM (non-airgap) intake, and choose the right cam; is a 100 HP gain plausable? Any suggestions on the Cam Specs? What do you guys think about RPM vs. RPM Arigap? I would rather not buy heads, but if I had to I might consider some low cost heads and maybe some roller rockers. This Is on a 64.5 Stang With a 260. I think that a 400-500HP small block would be better suited for the 05 Stang (Which I will be getting for an "off to collage" present)
