ill definatly keep that in mind. a cam is going to be my new years resolution 
so ill be seeing you soon jason. what are the specs on that cam. will my comp 918s work ok with it for a while. Bigger is not always better. I have a small custom 220/220 .581/.566 and I make great power. I recently dynoed thru a 12 bolt w/ 4.11 through full exhaust and stock SS wheels. I made 394 rwhp and 375 rwtq with no dyno tricks. I know of a lot of guys running a larger cam that don't make that kind of power thru stock 241 heads. I am pretty sure I would have made 405+ rwhp with a 10 bolt and 3.42. Remember, if you run a big cam you will lose some low end power and you will need deep gears. My car pulls through 6600 rpms and I sometimes fear the high reving. Just my opinion but I think a 224/222 .581/.581 on a 112 or 111 lsa would kick *** with stock heads. Use the XE-R lobes from Comp. They have more duration at .200 that the XE lobes.
Good Luck with what ever you chose.
