Default PI Head and cam advice

Alright fellas i just picked up a set of complete pi heads i want to put a more aggressive cam on them i need advice on a good cam i was thinking the comp 270 if it is not to big i will have this combo on a npi motor. I know i will have to get new springs and im going to have the head shop build and clean the heads up no porting but i would like the roughness cleaned up. Let me know fellas if this combo will work or if that is to much cam. thankz

honestly im not really a fan of comp, i have heard of very good things about cms cams. there stage 2 makes pretty good hp with stock or very light ported heads an still have good ptv clearence.

them or the comp 270 isnt to big unless you want your car to idle like a golf cart lol.

not shure if you have gears but you should really think about doin them if your gona do cams, if it was me i would do 3.73s or 3.90s if its an manual or 4.10s if its an auto.

Check out Modular Head Shop cams. They have a great selection, and the guy who runs the show really knows his s**t when it comes to heads and cams for the mod motor.
