    Thats alot of lift. Are you prepared to build the heads? New springs, screw in studs and guideplates?

    K well its A 302 bored over. 60 has forged 4 valve relief pistons, Edelbrock performer rpm heads, torker-II intake, hooker headers, Edelbrock 600cfm carb but will go bigger soon. It has a torker-II cam inside it now and runs good but wanted something with a bigger lift and same rpm range.

    Im running a pretty mild Lunati cam .500 in./ .510 exh. 284/292 duration, and I alread put 300 to the wheels with the trick flow heads. Still a bit of room to tune in some more power. Dont see that Id need a bigger cam and make more power than what my T5 can handle. Traction is already limited enough.

    Very true, I just want a good sound and power my cams just 472/492", im not saying mine doesn't have any right now just want to really hear that cam, I've got some e/t streets too for my traction to put it on the floor
