if u want peak numbers, why not use the SVT cams? I've already shown that you can squeeze the bejesus out of 'em and put down 475hp on a 2.5L. . .svtprodigy, sometimes I wonder, I mean you probably spent $800 including shipping for those cams . . . .
To get the highest numbers possible, you should've gone 3L+SVT Cams and run 20psi on an 8.5:1 CR engine. . .I BET you could get an easy 425-450fwhp on that.

I got hooked up with the cams for $331 and i picked them up my self. 
also we are mocking them up tonight. They look like they should fit. I wish i had my camera when we had them next to each other. I think they will work..I have to cut the exstension off of the cam shaft, and it will be the same. Demon told me this is the best setup. From what i have heard my exhaust cams should be like the svt exhaust cams for high rpm and the escape intake cams make more power down low making power to 7300rpms. I should have alot more than a 10 horespower difference. Ask what demonsvt thinks. He is the one that said to run these.... demon correct me if i am wrong...

No,the only reason i am doing 450whp because terry said that is the border line for power on the stock tranny...I did not get that gear set yet..That is going to be the future project...That cost some $$$$ that i should have at the end of this year... I will keep the power down a bit on the street when i am not racing.

You're going balls out... Shoulda just dropped an 03 cobra motor, and a nice fat solid rear axle. Probably woulda been less fabrication J/k Looks good so far.

mazda 6 Cams Fit with the water pump extention cut off!!! That was a close one!  Timing and all the measurements between the lobes match.

I guess you forgot to mention that my buddies are doing the install... Stopped by to see Dino and Sal, and sure enough there is your car...
All this time I was wondering which shop you kept refering to...
