no, i just dont want to loose if a rice burner with a turbo pulls up next to me

That is not a big cam especially in a 493. No problem, would probably idle decent

You probably still would if the driver is good. We have 1000HP front wheel drive Honda's around here.

With all the weight up front those ricers move.

I'm going with 16 wide rear tires and only abut 700HP........I may be able to give some of them a run.

Yeah, that is a soft duration cam BUT high lift

I wouldn't think you would need much of a cam with the blower.
