Look into the Torquer Series cams or a EPS grind from Geoff at Engine Power Systems.

I got the best help from Comp Cams, TSP, and Cam Motion....I ultimately chose Cam Motion.


My buddy just hit up Pat G though and he's more knowledgeable than I with building a solid motor

I vote for PatG. I'm running one of his and it's a very underestimated cam.

PAT G or EPS are in the forefront of my short list of guys I'd speak with.

not sure why you want new rocker's, but most cams do not recommend aftermarket rockers.

upgraded trunions, Ti retainers, chromoly pr's, lifters, oil pump, and timing set are all worth while. however for your needs, rockers are not.


read the stickies, they explain a lot.




and as far as cams, uh hurrr durrrrr....
