Default does this head/cam package match up??

I am matching up GTP heads milled to a 10.8 compression with a B1 cam. The B1 cam is already on the car along with flp headers w/orp and all bolt ons.

Should I go with a more aggressive cam??

I see very little track time and need to pass emmissions in VA. so I am looking for streetability without shifting to 6800. I currently shift at 6600 on the b1 cam.

Bottom line will I see a huge difference under the curve with a more aggressive cam as opposed to the b1??

I currently have 41k on the car as a point of reference.

thanks,

The B1 is still a VERY nice cam. You may gain a little with a larger or more agressive cam, but you run the risk of not passing the sniffer. That will, of course, depend on exactly what cam you want to move to.

the GTP's should shine with that cam and vise versa. GTP's have good velocity and PLENTY of flow.

I'd stay with the B1 if I were you. Any larger and you probably will be pulling it back out to put the B1 back in so you can pass emissions.

I would stick with that cam unless you dont mind swapping for the sniffer.

GTP heads should work very well with the B1 cam. Its a great cam as far as a balance of drivability, performance, and emissions requirements.
