Nice. Depending on what intake you run, a cam in the 247/259 .624/.624 112 range should get you were you want to be. Your 3:73s should be swapped out with 4:10s+.

My bad I read quick cam spec instead of just REALLY reading your whole paragraph. lol Sorry. The manifold will probably make it peak by 6400-6500 for sure, but should carry out 300-400rpms past that, so I would tell him 6800-6900k.
