He said cam only bolt on cars over 400 rwhp. Not just a cam. That means full intake, exhaust, tune, intake, etc. Pretty easy to do.

Re: what should i do?

400RWH is plenty for most people and definately respectable. does it matter if it comes from a bolt on LS1 or a turbo v6? Mine's a v6, its nearly paid for, in excellent condition. Its got a built tranny and rear-end. Something your going to need to do for a v8 car pushing that much power..... why swap it? Once I finish upgrading the suspension Im going the turbo route. Either route can be argued. The only thing that doesnt make sense to me is a guy running a stock car talking down to someone who has put the effort into his own ride.

I wasnt refering to anyone in this thread, but I have seen T/A / Z-28 guys with nothing more than aftermarket rims flame a v6 pushing more power than them. that doesnt make sense to me. what difference does it make if you are pushing 400RWHP out of a 3800, LT1 or LS1? none really.

to me, flamers beware, its more of a prize to have a 400rwhp v6 3.4(160ish hp) or 3.8,(200ish hp) then a 400rwhp 5.7(330ish hp) car.

Or LSx with more than 400 RWHP for the same $ spent on a V6 with 400 HP.
