Yeah, they sound real nice. If you go this route I'll be very interested to see what your car does on the Speed Inc. dyno with a large cam.

I'm just wondering what size cam I can get away with, I don't want to run into any P to V clearance issues, espeically w/those heads....

Whats the compression rating on those heads, are they milled at all?

I'm currently at 9:1 compression with this motor, I don't think the judson's will get me up there....I want to be at the least 11:1

I think they're unmilled so they'd be what a stock 6.0 head is which is what you have now I think right? Don't hold me to it for sure but I don't think I read anywhere about them being pre-milled to a certain amount. I'm sure you'll get it worked out with TEA if you decide on these. You've definately got room to play especially since you already have valve reliefs.

I'd get the heads first then have a cam ground to match the flow numbers and your compression so that you have acceptable P/V clearance.

Do you have valve reliefs in your pistons? If so you can go pretty huge on the cam without problems. If they are welding the head and not milling you can go even bigger.

Cheers,
Chris

To give you an idea:

I ran 12.85 @ 109 with 2.01 60' (stock TC) n/a
1000' altitude, ~60*

Motor is 369ci
Iron block
CC 214/218 (i think) --> baby cam
Stock heads
8.5:1 comp
Forged JE pistons
Stock crank and rods
Balanced

Nothing special, but
I really need a torque converter....

I am leaning towards some milled & ported heads, and some spray.
