We used our blower camshaft with this STS build.

For cylinder heads I'd go with AFR heads if you can afford the $2,500.00 for them. For a lower cost head that makes decent power and works out well if you stay at or under 16 psi of boost, the Patriot Performance Stage 2 heads at $1,285.00 work out vey well. We have used them on quite a few builds with good results. Bob

I agree with the head choices. AFR or TFS if you have the money. If not then patriot performance 6.0 Liter heads. As for the cam shaft, not sure if the EPP 232/240 is too aggressive for your liking but it does make killer power. A more mild choice would besomething like the 225/225 speed inc FI cam. Is this going on a stock or built shortblock?

its an entirely stock block...im gonna be upgrading the bottom end in time, but im just looking to make a lil more power and make it into the 11's i have a wolfe race craft 6 point weld in cage and would like to see times were it is actually required.that 232/240 cam prolly woudlnt be bad considering that the car only sees the road on the weekends...my goal is to lower the compression to a boost friendly level with out doin a total rebuild at this time...
