Thanks to everyone who posted, this greatly helped me in my decsion.
One more question, i am planning to buy the complete install kit from year one(yearone.com). It costs 749.99 out of the catalog. this is the k kit which includes rockers, lifters, springs, timing chain, and everything else needed to install a cam. Is there someplace i can get this cheaper?

http://www.cmotorsports.com/ contact these guys. Will probably save you $150-$200 on there kit. And from what people here on the board say, worth the price and then some.
Cam is mean as hell. With ported heads, stock stall, and hooker lt's I managed to spin them from a 20 roll or so and didn't really get any traction until 60 or around there. I know we hit 80 real quick even spinning and it's not even tuned yet. Early may is when it's being dynotuned, and I will post dyno/track results shortly after that. It sounds flat out MEAN!
I have the XE 230/236 in my car w/ the stock heads and I will be putting it on a dyno this saturday! I got a "tuned" chip for mine (93s had a chip not a PCM) but it runs PIG rich!! I leave clouds of black smoke if I rev it sitting still or launching. Not track times yet, but I will have dyno numbers this saturday! I'll post em up...

as far as powerbrakes-
i think i gained vaccum
my brakes are 5x softer now, kinda weird.

actually i'm pretty sure i need to add fluid and change the pads- the brake is to the floor at traffic lights

I am about half way through my installation of the Xe230/236 cam.

Drives like a stock 350 during normal driving and screams like a banshee and pins you in your seat at WOT.
