Default Converterting 422 to solid roller; what size cam?

I haven't really seen very many solid roller 422's so I don't have much of an idea of what size cam to run. If anyone has one or knows of a good cam or some good numbers, let me know. Thanks!!

I would say bigger is better. Put it on a narrow lsa and an icl of 112. Are you still using the ls6 intake? A sheet metal intake could make a very big difference for you.
