Happy New Year guys!!

I was originally planning to do a cylinder head upgrade but that was bringing about a cascade of other upgrades (new cylinder head-->new camshaft-->new pistons & rings-->new crank) so now I'm thinking of just going with an upgraded cam.

What would you guys recommend for a stock 351w, 670cfm Street Avenger, Holley manifold, 3.8 8" rear??

I prefer the Comp XE series cams for stock or mild builds.

They build great cylinder pressure with stock compression/heads and the split duration is a help to the weak exhaust side of the head.
