How much more power and torque will I get? What can I run in the quarter mile compared to what I could run the way it is now. How much faster off the line will it be? I heard a stage 2 cam will take me to 130HP or so. Anyone?
i am no expert on cams but i know you yield some good results with them. but with 1/2 the cylinders i have knowledge about, i'd say you'd get 15-20 more HP, and the 4.10's would defiantly help big time. I'd say you'd shave off .3 at least

Ok the first thing is if you put a cam in a stock head the max lift you can use is app .470. If you plan on running higher lift the guides must be trimmed down. I would use a cam with the following specks .465L I&E 215-225 D @ .050 and on 110-114 LC. if you plan on trimming the guides iwould run .535 L total and 220-225D I&E on 112-115 LC . This will definately put some ponies down on the blacktop. Remember roller cam only
In reality it should pick up 30 ponies. TRANNY? AT or 5 SPEEDER. rear axle ratio?? The whole thing stems on the entire package. Cam change is always good for ponies on a 2.3. That cam has good numbers for a nice torque curve. It should be real torquey on a broad RPM band. Is that cam for your 2.3??? It looks like a small block ford cam??
