Default Changing from an F11 To possibly a ????

I am getting a setup from a guy on here, It is TEA 2.5 Heads, and a F11 cam.

I was thinking about selling the cam, and possibly getting something a little bigger. The cams I was thinking about are

Texas Speed Torquer v.2 Camshaft On a 113
Texas Speed Torquer V.3 Camshaft On a 112
And maybe G5X3 Cam on a 114 +4

The heads are 64cc, and I was thinking about shaving .010 on them, and running COMETIC's, depending on what cam I choose. If I shave .010, will I need to fly cut on the G5X3?

And performance wise, witch one would be more Ideal? It is going to be a weekend warrior, with as mutch track time as I can do during the season up here in Wa.

I allready have an SS3600 Stall, and I will be getting a Level 2 Performbuilt tranny in a week or so. With 3.73's in the rear.

Some advice would be nice,

Thanks
Lane

i have your combo, but with no heads, and a 233/239 cam (rated over both of the TSP's cams you mentioned) and went low low 12's while still shortshifting... The heads will pick you up so much itll be a rocket.

Thanks man,

Common no-one else. You gotta be kidding me. lol

And also, I am thinking about using N20 in the future, so As well with that, what cam would work better.

Oh and also, you can run gasket thicknesses of like .030 - .052 (stock) or, with a few sizes in between. If you shave your heads 10 thou and they do hit then put in a bigger gasket, if they dont you can pick up up to 25 thousanths (with a 66.67 CC chamber compression from the simple gasket change from .52 crushed to about .27 crushed or 25 thousanths picks up .65 in compression. Mill that another 10 thou and your lookin at almost a full point (.93) in compression) in a gasket swap. I asked alot of people about how much i can mill with my cam on stock heads and no one knew, i dont think they would know yours...
