Too tame in my opinion. You will make more than stock, but I think you will regret not going bigger, esp with a stick shift. Look at what John had, and what he put in....

The costs associated with cam swap are much more than the cam itself. Is the $$$ saved not going big to begin with worth it when you do it again and have to retune??

He also had ported heads.....
099
232/240
.551/.551
117 LSA

F13 High Lift
230/232
.642/.612
112 LSA

Open the valves and let them breathe, and you don't need the big LSA like mrr's NOS motor and my blower set up.......IMO....
