With stock cubes, the 210's would be too much air and your car would become less driver friendly cuz you'd need a cam to match it. 195's would be better for stock cubes but I've heard at least once they didn't flow well outta the box. As far as cams, better get some good advice from a knowledgeable source. Getting the wrong cam for your combo will be a compromise in power.

i didnt think the 210s really flowed that well without porting

regarding the cam, im all for custom cams, i've ran the hot cam, 306, and now a custom fms cam.
my custom cam drives better then the 306 and makes more power.

210cc competiton package which I got, flow 288cfm @ .600 but I have a forged 383cid also, so drivabilty is not bad with bigger cams even bigger than gm847 cams. (dhdenney's cam)

id get the competition ready 210's, gm847 or larger cam, because in less than 1000 miles id bet you ruin a cam bearing. 150K is a lot to go swapping cams. I'd get a thorough rebuild then bolt on the aforementioned products, lts, injectors, 255lph fuel pump, get a tune and like the 400+rwhp you will have!

not accurate, different castings all around

What are you guys talking about? they don't flow? Proof? I only ask because I have seen/flowed/used many sets of them and always had fantastic results across the board. Simply saying someone is something means nothing, show me why they are that way and then you got something.

Strange. Our findings are different then yours then

Last i checked the CNC program was the only differeance. Call them and ask. Even the LT heads are the same casting they just send them out to be welded. I am pretty damn sure as that is what they told us while we waited MONTH'S for a set of 210LT4
