Default want to switch cams

So I'm currently running the hotcam with mild ported heads. I want to switch cams and try to squeeze as much power out of the car as I can. I do plan on doing A.I 200cc heads later on but right now just the cam.

Any suggestions?

Wait and get the cam with the a/i heads and do it all at once, unless you actually like tearing into an engine twice lol, thats my suggestion.

Throw a 100 shot on it for the time being? What rear end are you running? could always go get gears. I really think its a waste of time and money to throw a cam in it when its going to get torn back apart to do heads.

If you really dont plan on doing heads and have the numbers of what your heads flow, call a/i or LE and get a custom grind.

The cam they would reccomend for the 200cc heads probably wont run as good with your current heads.
