Hell Ya,
I'd say go for it. You will more than likely have to upgrade your valvetrain to handle the increased lift of the cam. I would say that you would pick up at least 40rwhp over the cam you have now. Going by what's in your siq now, you will definately be in the 11s. This is my opinion.
Other board members chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.

Tim

That cam should easily get you solid high 11s with at least 5 more mph I would think. Go for it!
