Cam Chaft & Heads

Hey guys I have 2 questions that I would like opinions on. Currently I have a 89 Trans Am TPI. I swapped the 305 and put a 355 in it. Flat top pistons making high compression, and have the hookers headers, and intake all set on it. I am wondering though what would be the best heads to put on it so it can finally breath? Pretty sure it still has stock 1.80 heads on it. Also what is the biggest cam I can put in there that the computer will be able to read?

Re: Cam Chaft & Heads

Look at a Lunati Lunati 20080721 (formerly 60121) or equivilent.

For heads, again, you didn't mention budget, but 195cc AFR's are probably the best but will run $2100 for the set.
