It is one of the baddest off the shelf grinds for cathedral ports available that works with efi and carbs love them as well as nitrous.

I had that cam but chickened out before the install. Might be one of those lifelong regrets who knows.

I was going to go with a howards cam Grind#190355-12

232/.625 intake
236/.625 exhaust
112 lobe separation

Would the trex cam be better?
I don't want to have to fly cut the stock pistons.

The reason for the howards cam grind was I emailed them all my specs and that I wanted the longest durataion and the highest lift without having to fly cut the pistons and to not have to worry about piston to valve clearance issues. And this was the cam they said would work for me.

Flycutting with TREX was strongly recommended when I was researching it. Might get away with the other cam you mentioned without cutting but I'd measure PTV no matter what. Anybody you ask will give you that same advice, trust me.

Most users of a trex do not fly cut, but always check it.
