Try the question on the TPI board and be specific about what you are going to use the car for. Street? Strip only? Daily driver?

Off hand, I'd say a Crane PowerMax 272 or a Comp XE 268.

BUT, those are not roller grinds, that's why the guys on TPI can be a lot more help.

well if you are looking into slp

slp makes a pretty nice cam to match up with vortec heads give the parts department a ring and talk to them
