mainly just what you guys think about this cam. What kind of hp should it make and at what rpm? Will it be a resonable street cam or just too aggressive?

Id sat thats about as big as you want to go. Its a good cam...with the potential to make 375-390 rwhp with the correct boltons.

How much is it?

i am assuming that this is a roller cam cause the lower duration. If it an auto tranny, make sure you get a high enough stall converter.

I am lucky enough to have the T56 with a set of 4.10s in the rear. This should make finding traction even more fun.
