im thinking about getting cams and i am not sure whether to go with VT Stage 1 or stage 2 cams, before i put the cams on i will put on: 4.10 gears, Steeda C springs, SCT Tune, and Steeda UD Pulleys, how much HP will i be getting from the stage 1 cams?, im looking for something around 290-300 from the stage 1's but if not someone tell me other wise, i just want to know the big difference between these two cams and some help deciding whihc ones to go with

VT stg 1s retain the lowend torque of the engine...and allow for 6200RPM shifts...5600RPM peak HP. (roughly ofcourse)

VT stg 2s are down on power compared to stock till 3500, and will surpass the stg 1s @ around 4500RPMs and peak around 10RWHP higher.

Vt stg 1s do not require valve springs....stg 2s do.

Just all depends on what you want...and FYI it took ALL of the regular boltons + a few tricks and other parts to get to 292RWHP. STG 2s would have bumped me to 300 I think.

In short 300RWHP isnt easy to get with stock heads and/or a stock short block
