Default Head flow #'s inside now what size cam

I got my heads back from GTP the other day and here are the flow numbers

Lift 0.5420 CCFM 308.2

Lift 0.5768 CCFM 314.4

Lift 0.6038 CCFM 312.2

What size lift cam would you think would work good with the heads to take full advantage of the heads ? I have a F4 cam but was thinking of going to something with a lift in the 590's. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Mike H.

I would go with a cam in the .600 lift range.
Cheers,
Chris

I would say .570 to .580 Your heads fall off after that and that would only hurt you.

thanks for the reply. Looks like I will be selling the F4 cam most likely. Decisions suck <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Vince, I might put it in anyway for a month and then try something else <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" /> Now that I have some decent springs on my car it looks like I will be taking after you and doing a few cam changes in the months to come <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
