Ok so i got a 1998 gt with pi head/pi cams swap and bullitt intake setup. Im thinking about going with a new set of cams but not sure what cams i can get that will work well and not have piston to valve clearance problems. I know that with the npi block and pi top end im running a higher compression but im not sure if that effects anything. Im just looking for suggestions.

Most stage one cams will work w/o ptv clearance issues.

I think that combo would love Comp 262AHs and a good tune and shouldn't worry you about PTV.

As this is my first dealings with an ohc engine, is there any way to check that clearance without removing the heads? Oh also i have 3.73 gears in the rear with a t-45 trans
