Something along the lines of a T-Rex, MS4 or any other cam in the 240+ duration range should get it done.

Stock 99 heads with 111,000 miles! Only thing that is not stock are the valve springs and push rods. They are not ported.

The issue your going to run into with the donkey dick cams with stock comp and reletivly stock heads is that its so peaky and the under curve power suffers to the point where in the 1/4 mile that a smaller cam 22x/23x cam will do the same with less power.

Depending on the lobes used there has been plenty of cams doing 400-420 rwhp with a 230/236 int/exh on a 112 LSA

Vengence VRx3 and VRx4's doing 390-405 in a m6/10 bolt 2002 cars and VRx5 has done 420's and have much better low end/under curve power.

Something to think about.

i have heard the T-RED and the MS4 cam and a Vindicator will do it too...my 853 heads have a 5 angle valve job, new locks, guides, and retainers, and i think that with the forged pistons i will be able to run a bigger cam w/ out PtV issues...
