That is what I was going to use but I don't think that will use all the potential the heads have. The cam in the kit has more lift than the tfs stage one.

Get a custom cam... call your favorite manufacturer and tell em what your combo and goals are. Sure... it may end up costing you a hundred dollars more but that's cheap for getting cam that matches your setup.

The days of ballparking a cam are all but over!


Note: A custom cam can make a 40+ HP difference in many circumstances.
