    I just called CompCams and spoke with their tech support.
    I told them what you have and they recommended a cam for you.

    I know you've been looking at a cam , so here's the one that should work.
    This one has a higher lobe separation which will maintain your boost and keep it up there, and also will broaden your torque (according to compcams)

    It's the Extreme RPM High cam model
    RPM Range: 1400-6700rpms
    @50 Duration IN: 212
    @50 Duration EX: 218
    Lift IN: .558
    Lift EX: .563
    Lobe sep: 115
    PN: 54-424-00 Cam grind #: XR265HR

    Let me know what you decide, i know you were looking for more power!!! heheh
    This came along with that pulley should get you deep in the 13's.
    BTW, the Yank 3200 Stealth is a great daily driver and is turning out awesome, I can't wait to romp on it and test mine out.

    later,

    ive pondered this cam, it sounds like a nice mid sized cam vs. the other high duration/lift cams everyone goes with....you wont need one of those with boost though lol

    I bet that cam has a pretty smooth idle for the lift. That should get you some good times at the track.

    ya, this is a good cam, and with that lobe, maybe not need much if any tuning.
    (that's just a guess)

    def. looks like a nice cam for either boost or NA.

    Thanks for the info guys.

    Allen, I'll sure let you know, I'm still saving some $$$ for a complete set up (stall, servos, pulley, tuning, cam and maybe a set of 6.0L heads), man I can't wait.


    Thanks again for the post and replies guys.

    badass!! I don't see why mid 12's are out of reach then.
    Once those mods are installed listed above, you'll def. be moving.


    later,
