These cams sound promising and if mace's gains are accurate we should see 300+ rwhp NA LFXs soon! On top of the cams I'm considering to get tuned for 93 octane and putting in some higher compression pistons( and other supporting parts), to take advantage of the higher octane. Would also like to find a place willing to rework the heads which should also compliment the cams. Also picking up some high flow cats and a jacfab extendolator and ported intake manifold. So what do you guys think? Any little things I might need to further compliment the build in going this direction? All advice is welcome !

And I'll have a set of 3.73 gears to pull me into the power band of the centri supercharger faster. Then when I have the itch again for more power I'll throw in some forged pistons and con rods and swap to a lower pully and see how that works. Either way you go you really can't go wrong. Both are great companies. If you have a beater car or something you can drive should something come up with the turbo then I'd say go turbo! If not supercharger all day.

I see you everywhere and with literally every idea. I thought you already planned to switch to a MM can... and a N/A build... and a roots blower.... and the IPF kit.
Now I know the cams were a big bust, I saw that coming from the get go. The roots was a bust because the only guy that would touch them was a hack. And IPF is closing the door on the V6.
If you have the time and money to crack the engine open and such then just custom build what you want.
