My opinion: Spin to 7,000 and go for a good custom grind cam, matching springs/seals, titanium retainers if you have the cash and have the springs set peoperly don't just throw them in.

You already have 4.30 gears so you can build a high rpm screamer.

By the way, how do you like those 4.30's in your street car?

I would say

Afr 185s
Eddy Performer Intake
Custom cam is always the best

Imo that is probably one of the best h/c/i combos you could have

I know you have the 185's already. I was just suggesting the needed valve train upgrades you should do to the heads and go with a GOOD custom camshaft.

Im planning on 4.30's down the road so I figured i'd ask.

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
