well if you want to get technical...and how big you can go with THAT setup.

you can't go bigger than about .600" lift since you're running 918s.

assuming you upgrade those....its basically a stock headed engine...so there are dozens of big cams possible.

Trex and MS4 would be some of the bigger ones.

what are your goals?? driving habits?? budget??
