Default is this cam gonna be ok?

i have a fms 224/228 588/576 114lsa cam in my truck now. im fixing to put a radix on my truck and im gonna run around 10psi. i just wanna know if this cam is gonna perform well enough to get me to 500rwhp. i will also have an alkycontrol meth kit, full boltons, and headers. i also have worked heads. thanks

You may be aiming a little high. Mine dynoed 415 rwhp with a milder cam, but more open exhaust. I'm running a 3 or 3.1 pulley that blows 9 to 10 psi. You'll have plenty of Hp, but I'd guess it would be closer to 450 than 500. More than enough to smoke the tires completely off and tear up trannys and rear ends.

i think it should be alright cuz you either have slightly positive or slightly negative overlap but if its positive it isnt too much to rob your boost but you might wanna post this in the FI section

make your pimp hand stronger and post it back but maybe change the title to "Radix cam selection"
