I would love to get a custom but this is a budget engine. I have looked around and I can get a e-cam around my area for $75-125.

I like the trick flow stage one cam but its a little low at .512. I personnaly use a X303 without any problems with piston to valve clearence. I would say try the B303 with a set of 1.7 roller rockers. Same duration as X and a little less lift.

fms alphabet cams have more lazy ramp rates compared to the tfs 1 cam.
