comp cams XR269HR/ 08-502-8
has anyone used this cam? comp cams just recommended this cam to me after giving them my specs.
350 tpi bored .040 over, im getting new tpis big mouth manifold, big tube runners, and 52mm throttle body.
I already have a b&m 2400 stall converter.
I have a full out true duals exhaust with headers.
I have an adjustable fuel regulator as well
description for the cam says "Hydraulic Roller-Good for TPI 305 or 350 with aftermarket chip and upgraded exhaust"
I have an aftermarket Hypertech Power Chip but i only used it once and took it back out. i bought it when the car was stock and all it did was waste fuel.
My thing is i am paying some good money as you can see with the parts from tpis, but the cam requires upgrades. i understand that, valve springs and roller rockers are in order but the heads require machining. this is where i dont want to get over my head, that will be down the road when i get another engine and everything will be new, but for now i want to use the stock heads. IS THE ENDING RESULT WITH THIS CAM AND THE OTHER AFTERMARKET PARTS COMBINED TOGETHER WORTH THE TROUBLE TO HAVE THE HEADS MACHINED?
