Default Cam selection.

Looking for some more input on my setup.

Im currently running a 6.0 with p&p 706 heads 85mm bbk intake and tb with a 2800 stall, cam specs are 538/535 224/244 112- 3.73 gears, yellow springs and stock valvetrain.

I'm looking move to 243's ported and while I was in it I figured I'll move to a better suited cam for the heads.

Any suggestions?

get some flow data when the heads are ported and talk to Patrick-G for a custom cam.

no one around here can do flow numbers on heads that I know of. And I wont ship em off just for that if I can avoid it.

I went from a tr224 to a Cam Motion 228/232 and I am happy with the increase.
