Default More torque on a budget....

I wanted some more giddyup for my stock 88 with SE AC, SERT and V&amp\\;H BR 2-2, but did not want to dish out a few thousand for a new build (just yet gotta leave something in the works for next year). Decided to go with SE 204 cams and BCT QQ baffles only. Total package parts, labor, tune $600. Below is my dyno sheet with before and after. Picked up 5hp and 10tq. Worth it? I think so!! Can I feel it? Oh yeah!! Opinions?

Running a SERT. I had a buddy install the cams, only needed a cam service kit from the dealer. Drove to his house around 8:30 am by noon I was gone.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
