When you say stage 2x or 3 cams currently being installed, which ones are you referring to? Have you bought them yet?

Thanks. After the car was built up the first time, it only ran a couple days. We've been having problems with tuning it which is why I'm going with DSM link. There are way too many things "talking" to each other (MAF translator to DSM chip to AFC Neo). The main reason I'm building the head is when we were street tuning it, one of the small coolant hoses which is hidden under the engine which we didn't replace (don't ask me why, I guess we didn't see it) blew on a 3rd gear pull and shot out all the coolant and hence the head gasket warped. The head also lifted from the block and cause the boost to shoot through the water jacket and into the radiator which puffed like a balloon. It looks pretty funny. I'll take pics when we get it out of the car, hahaha. Also the oil filter assembly rattled loose and shot the oil out too. Amazingly the engine survived all that at 7500 rpm for about 6 seconds (all hail the 4G63!). The block is fine. Since we had the head off to replace the gasket and head studs, I decided to use the opportunity to build the head. So I got a new (used) head (didn't want to bother resurfacing the old one plus it had some corosion) and valvetrain.
Yeah the cam is an FP. No I haven't gotten the cams yet. The head is at the head shop getting cleaned, sand blasted and measured.
It hasn't been dynoed but let's just say at 18psi before the coolant and oil blew out, it was really really really fast. I can't wait to see how fast it'll be with the built head, new PWR radiator and DSM link. This time, we are inspecting the car and replacing all old hoses and gaskets we haven't done already and making sure everything is tight and secure. Lesson learned. The whole fuel and coolant system is practically new.
