Default Going to try another cam...

I currently have a 230/230 .572 .572 110 custom Comp Camshaft. I have Total Engine airflow heads and just looking to try something different. Any thoughts?

why are you putting s omuch on the exhaust? Are you gonna spray? If not I would reverse it and go 236/230 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
The TEA's should do fine with that. You'll need to wind it up more, but the increase on the big end will be significant

All of the tuners who are making big power are using a standard split with 4-8 degrees of duration on the exhaust side when their heads have a I/E efficiency of 71-73%. The total engine airflow heads have similiar efficiency. Brian over at TEA is using a cam just like this in his corvette(only bigger).
