Default I need a bigger cam

Well with my current setup i made 405 rwhp with a 226/228 cam, heads milled to .030 and mac mid-lengths w/y-pipe and cats.

So i'm thinking something in the 230-234 range, is it possible and with what cam?

thanks,
Kenny

What are you looking for, peak poower? looks like your cam now is doing real well, why change to get a couple extra peak HP? If anything, get a custom grind maybe in the 228-230 range, should still drive nice and have good under the curve power. my .02

BTW, I see alot of people ask if you have an underdrive pulley. It didn't get me anything extra on the dyno but it did help at the track in the 60' area. Are people really seeing dyno gains from a pulley? Maybe this is for another topic!

yes i do, but like i said before my heads are milled .030. Will these cams work with the valves i've got too? I don't want to flycut any pistons.
