Re: Quest to run a 8.5 with my tpi

without changing the stall there's not to many options out there. if you've got the l98 cam you would be better of putting a set of 1.6 rockers on than tearing into the engine.

Re: cam option

with those gear and converter id go with the 210/220 comp. anything over 480 lift will require you to mechine the head for valve seal clearince.
sounds like a soild setup.
