i toned the motor down a bit to be more street freindly for him,but its gonna be hard with that initake,regardless of anything he is still gonna need 4.10+ gears,and atleast a 3k converter
bottom end is good for 500 hp,noone said it was a stock bottom end.

i have the right cam for the engine the one that belongs with this setup,but it is way to much of a cam fo rsomething that will see street driving.

That's the problem with the set up, it ain't ment for a daily driven car, no matter how sweet the deal is....putting a smaller cam in it would be like putting a band aid on a shot gun wound....short lived temporary fix. It just way more than the kid needs or can handle.
