I am in the sameboat as you mac. I want streetable power. Never see the strip anyways. I'm going with the AI 243s, probably the 226 setup. I'm going to let them spec the cam for me. I just rebuilt my shortblock with relief pistons, so I don't know if that will change their cam selection or not.

Either way, I'm subscribing to see what else comes up.

Very similar specs to the SSHT. Looks like you're on the right track. Either way, you can't go wrong.

Your right. Im confident AI can spec me a cam to meet my goals and one that will work best with their heads. I do like to keep my options open though..

I hear you Bob and I agree. No need for a big *** cam to make power these days.. Plenty of EPS threads have shocked me for sure. I do trust the guys at AI though, they had tons of high powered LT1s on the streets. I like the idea of their cam being matched perfectly to their heads as well.
