wel sounding the best would be a lower lobe seperation or lsa. 112 or lower has a good lope. As you go up in lsa, the more stock idle it has. The TR224 is a good cam or a MS3. Check out texasspeed.com and go check out some videos of cams.

. Agreed

It depends also on whether this is a daily driver or a weekend car or a project car. What plans do you have for it?
