You can't run very much of a cam without changing pistons, afaik.

Carpenter and others bore out the buckets holes and use busa buckets for clearance with big cams,yes u can gain with mild cams with a good piston ,port and fuel setup.

That's real interesting, considering that the regrinds are under $500.

The are not showing any additional hardening costs. They aren't weld-ups.
At least that is the way I read it.

believe it or not the 14s cams are pretty good thats why even to cut emmissions it has catalizers in the exhaust and it still reads rich on the dyno wich in turn reads a lower hp number but change to an aftermarket exhaust and it wakes way up so do u need cams no do u want cams its up to u.my2ct.

That should work out to 200 to 205hp SAE.
