far too much cam for TPI. And you wait on choosing a cam until after you have the best heads you can afford.

again, you don't pick the cam until after you get the best heads you can afford. Hopefully AFR's 180cc heads. Some heads have poor exhaust ports and need extra exhaust duration, others have ports that stall beyond a certain lift. Get heads first, then you can worry about a cam.
