I really like the 503 cam for an all around good cam to use.
I can ship one to you for $275 if interested.

503 FTW on this one for sure. Great cam, or spec the AI 226/234 cam.

You do know that the cam goes in the engine not on the engine? sorry it's one of those days.

i had the 227, i didn't like it, great torque down low, but ran out of steam up top. felt kind of like a l98.
