So I am starting to put together a list of parts for my winter engine upgrades.

This is the plan so far, AFR 165's Holley 650 DP and a new cam. The cam is where is need some help I have gotten it narrowed down to 3 choices

Comp Cams 1.) XE268H 2.) XE274H 3.) Custom Cam (Ed Curtis)

My goal is to get somewhere between 300 and 325 RWHP with those mods does that seem like a realistic goal?

Also I would like to hear some comments from those of you who have had either of the 2 cams listed.

I don't see why you can't get 300 rwhp form the parts listed in your sig...


Regardless, 165's and the XE274 is a proven combination.

Well the car dynoed with current mods at 300 flywheel hp, where would the missing HP be found with what I have, some more tuning perhaps.....
