I'll say around 410-415 RWHP (480ish at the flywheel) - a little more or less depending on tuning.

for the 1/4th mile. Probably around 12.1-12.2ish at around 113 MPH. You ET will depend on how good your 60 ft. time is w/ traction.

Tuned perfectly, I'd say 360 rwhp/340 ftlbs tq and babying the car out of the hole (because of the 10-bolt) a 12.4 @ 111 w/ 1.85 60 ft.

Calling the cam "small" is a relative statment. It's all gonna depend on how much drivability the driver is willing to loose. If its a daily driven car and you dont want to put up with a rough idle and lots of surge, then the cam choice really isnt that bad. If youre looking to maximize the power out of that set up, than yes the cam is a bit small.

I'd expect between 360-380rwhp out of it. If you could hook, I'd expect mid 12s out of it around 113mph.

With a larger cam, I bet you could get another 20rwhp out of it quite easily.

Yea I'd guess 350rwhp. That cam is not very large and even has less lift than the hotcam. And it looks like you won't have roller rockers or an electric water pump either. So ya 350-360rwhp. And for the 1/4 it all depends on 60ft time. People have gotten 11's with that much power, but the avererage joe might get a 12.5 or so... give or take a few tenths

I run the cc306 on stock heads and have absolutely no cam surge at all, maybe a little when its cold but pretty much none when its hot. Theres really no reason he shouldn't go with a bigger cam, if not he's pretty much wasting his money geting the heads, i'm prolly making 350 rwhp with the stock heads...it traps 114 mph full weight. Also idk if i would recomend the spec stage 1, thats not that much better than stock from what i have heard. I'm runing the stage 4 with no problems, drives pretty much like stock when you get used to it, hell my GF can even drive it, haha

Ya im my earlier post I totally read the cam specs wrong, thats why I guessed way high. Now I would also have to agree with 360-370ish RWHP
