Only has one cam. The other was rough so I left it. Stock cams can be picked up for chump change on L sites.
I think the 8 thread PI castings are worth that.
Once I throw a battery in the truck, I can tell you the mileage on them too

If I got them I would be putting an aftermarket cam in anyways. Unfortunately I don't have the funds or the space to build an engine right now :/

You could probably add 50 without trying too hard.

There's a guy on the fiddyboyz page with a cammed 2v that put out some decent dyno numbers. Anything over 300 rear wheel hp Mark is some serious gains over stock

I wonder how aggressive you have to go to make it put out those numbers.

By the time I get the heads, cams, tune, valves and Springs and get the porting done I bet it will be well over 1k tho
