wow, this unnessicarily turned into a bullshit thread.

back on topic, id definately check into those prc heads, along with some AFRs also. theres a realllll nice set of Tony Mamo ported AFRs in the sponsor sales section, lemme go check if its there. no promises itll have PTV clearance with a t-rex though. (custom cam would work great with these)

edit: ok those are gone. so back to the normal AFRs & PRCs. great choices none the less

Anything with stock valve size and no milling.

From there all you got to deal with is the runners and bowls. Anybody can do that.

Stock size valves? what about a vj?

Seriously considering this cam...

I would figure this cam would kill for some milling...

The TRex was designed for max cam only applications. If you want a big cam AND heads, then get another cam.

It will work great with the heads I mentionned, better than with stock heads. That cam likes to breath and ported heads will allow that.

It was designed as the biggest cam they could fit in a stock motor at the time.
Bigger is hardly always better, it needs a boatload of modifications to support it, it is not a street cam. It was designed as a cam only drag cam. And unless you drive around with slicks, 4400+ stall in a 2750lbs car you would be making a huge mistake shoving that cam in there.

We are currently finishing up a larger runner PRC cylinder head that was designed for 3.910 bore applications. That being said they don't currently clear p/v with a Trex. The last Trex I checked was a good bit worse clearance than the MS4 & the MS4 won't clear with this new PRC 346 cylinder head. The PRC 215 head should work good for you, or if your on a budget the PRC LS6 Stage 1 can keep stock clearance & give you a 63cc chamber.
