Great choice on cam,just remember,high rpm's cost money,to keep the engine durable,so if it's life is going to be normal,not 5k rpm,stock heads will be fine

Probably end up doing wheelies down the freeway! Thanks for replying! Yes I'm looking around now and have gotten a better general idea of what I should be after. Trying to get as much low end power without increasing my compression ratio too much I suck up too much $$$ worth of gas as it is! If I have to run one grade up so be it but ideally would not like that!

OK all Yoda aside, I would go with a milder cam for a couple reasons. Gas mileage is one. Less tear on that new bottom end is another. one thing which many folks ignore about racing
parts is the shorter life span of racing engines, in general. When sponsors are replacing their engines after 2 or three weeks, what do they care?
