Okay. How can I fly cut without pulling engine? I know the front 3 cylinders on each side may be easy but back may be difficult. Any pointers and tips are appreciated. As far as ptv tolerances what would be safe? Also you stated milling heads more. How much more should I go? Not sure if this makes a difference but I will be putting spray to it. Thanks for all of your help guys.

I have a 233/239 .598 .603 on 112* now. I want more low end grunt and make BIG torque and good power under the curve. Can KNOWLEDGABLE cam guys give me a few good choices..I would still like a good thump though.
How much advance is in that cam now?

Before you spend the cash on a new cam, you may consider advancing that one 4 degrees to an intake centerline of 108 if you have the piston to valve clearance. That will make a substantial improvement in low end torque.
