Cam Recommendations/Trick Flow heads

Any you guys have any ideas on what cam to run with my Trick flow 23 degree heads? Right now i'm thinkin of getting the TPIS base and runners. Probably going with SLP 1 3/4 headers.

I have the 23*'s edelbrock base and asm runners. I went with the xtreme 218/224 .495/.503 112 LSA. I running the stock chip. It runs better with the stock one vs the ed write one.

Keep it around 220*-225* and you'll see big power increases without sacrificing driveability

I have the same heads and HAD TPI. It ran great with a 220/230 cam at 0.050 and around .510 lift. This was with a 350.

Im running the XE284 on my 383 with Trick flow heads. Nice cam. A little lope at idle but sounds WAY cool. Still pulls about 14 mg vaccum.
