I vaguely remember a thread in the Advanced Engineering Tech section about something like this a few years ago, but wasn't aware someone actually DID it. It's certainly interesting...
And I'd ditch that cam. Even Geoff HATES it. He only did it bc someone said it "couldn't be done". It was a challenge that he accepted "just because".
There's a much MUCH better cam out there for those heads. But a 250cc intake runner? Good lord... That's even bigger than the Mast small bore LS3's at 240cc, and they don't really "turn on" until around 4500rpm.
What's the planned use for the car?

Those heads flow a **** ton of air, or at least the flow data from Brett says they do. I had e-mailed back and forth with him a few times several years ago about doing port work, but what turned me away was the huge hogged out intake runners.

Do yourself a favor and shoot Tooley an e-mail. Tell him all about your setup and your goals and he will help you out with the right cam.

Hmmm, I want to see results. Hell I might guinea pig this one with my tax returns. Anyone know what other port sizes he makes? I'm planning on going 'heads' only, just to see how much of a sleeper I can be with no cam lope, interested in these for the price.
