It's usually not a good idea to decide on a cam and then try to match the heads to it. That's kinda like buying a set of wheels and trying to find a car to match. Doesn't make good sense to me. The porting folks mentioned above will do your heads and custom grind you a cam that will do what you want with no compromises. I'll be willing to bet that the mistake made the most often is to over-cam an engine. You can get a cam that will give the "thump" that you're after and still make great power where it can be used. IMHO

the best heads you can afford. lloyd elliot stage 2 or 3 if your feeling real power hungry. like said before it all depends on your goals. daily driven, occasion street terror, full tilt drag car, autocross, sky is the limit my friend, but be realisitc with yourself, your goals, and your budget. its way to easy to get in way over your head, and not be able to drive it on the street anymore

As stated above lloyd elliot has head and cam packages available depending on what horsepower range you are looking for. The cams included have the specs readily available on his website. Prices seem very reasonable.
