Does that mean the cam is more suited for the manifolds vs headers?
Does this at all signify that with headers it can use more cam?
What it means to me is Pontiac did a great job designing these manifolds. Then whatever RA Restorations did to them in modifications, worked even better.

It's a big engine, so it could sure use more cam, but it's a street engine, so the cam is as big as needed for this application.

The manifolds hurt the low end power, but picked up some power in the top end, which is completely backwards from what I thought it would do. Hurting the low end torque numbers is probably a good thing though, as this will be real hard to hook up on the street.

Sean, hope you have some good, sticky tires!
