Funfer2 Hi Kevin. Couple of things. With whatever cam you put in the motor, make sure the valves DON'T hit the pistons. you need a .120 clearance one and .100 on the other one. You can get a hydro cam with .550"-.560" have a nice loping idle and low maintainance. You can have a roller cam make for your motor. Hydrolic or solid rollors. I have a .501-533. cam in a 452 motor, 9.2-1 compression CNC heads and single plane manifold. my numbers are 340 hp 428 tor. at the rear wheels on a dyno. I can run 13's in the quarter. Car runs great, nice 750 rpm idle with alittle lope. I donot have to pull valve covers every months to lash valves. Are you going racing every weekend??? Save your money, buy the alumium heads put a small cam in it and build another animal motor. 13-1, 700 lift cam, race fuel. Build a tork motor with 500-500 lbs, this is all the car will work with. Car wieghts 2500 lbs. You need to go for a drive in someone elses car with and ask about how much maintainance is needed. Bigger is not always better. sometimes small is just RIGHT. Rick Lake
