I really like EPS stuff but there are so many great companies on here selling
cams and can match all related components(push-rods,springs,gaskets and
rocker arm upgrades) Thunder Racing, Texas Speed, Futral, Vengeance, take
your pick they'll all get you the right cam. Probably somewhere around 230
to 240 range duration;Streetsweeper or Tsunami comes to mind, and a lobe
separation to broaden the powerband for your hill climbing. good luck

Definetly a lot of good companies on here that can get you the results you want. I suggest giving Texas Speed a call. Great service and they can definetly go over some option with you.

who make streetsweeper not impressed with texas speed I'm sure there motor stuff is good but I got way better deal on short block elsewhere. I got great price on headers + there catted y-pipe but fit on pipe sucked + had to fix welds on cats (had holes melted thru) I'm not a welder but mine looked 10x better. thanks for input
