i see that very mild cam used alot in supecharger or turbo setups, not too much in just a NA motor. as for heads, these are my choices.... AFR 205s or ETP 215s.

i can tell you that it is a top end performer. i've ran a couple fbodies bolt ons and i've pulled away from them in the top end. also you can't even tell it's in the car at all.

If your interested I'm selling some MTI Stage IIe's, I got +400rwhp w/ these heads and a mild 224/228 cam.

Just thought I'd throw it out there as an option. You figure $1000 for these heads, and you could save the other $1000 for other mods.

Selling due to go another route w/ my package.

Edit: Fort Lewis? Do you know Jon? Black H/C Vette. I'm sure he can vouch for the quality.

Yup, I've probably seen you out there, there just a bunch of guys to keep track of. That's cool, they're not coming off the car for another 2-4 weeks, but let me know if your interested. I could probably work something out w/ Ellis to get them installed at somewhat a group rate.
