306 cubes...

-Trick Flow track heat intake
-canfield 192s, 2.02. 1.60, little cleaned up/bowl work/gasket matched to intake
-1.6 roller rockers
-srp forged pistons
-compression is 10:1 with these heads/pistons
-stock crank/rods arp hardware
-3000 stall converter non-lock up
-4.30 gears, 28 inch tire

just trying to pick a damn cam, i may just do a custom ground ultradyne or something like that. ANY INFO would be great

When you get the flow-data for the heads, send me ALL the info. Also have it flowed with a pipe on the exhaust & an intake if possible....oh, & get flow #'s with a 4.030 bore.

Once I have these #'s from .300-.600 I'll be better able to find you a cam.

Oh yeah, I also need the tranny/gears you plan on running & what RPM you want peak power at....or close to. Ideally what you want to do is keep the shift recovery in the 'fat' of the torque curve....& cross the traps of th e1/4 mile just after peak HP in 4th gear.
