There would be no sence in wasting the money on a custom ground cam on an engine that doesn't have the heads to support the cubic inches. If you absolutly have to use those heads I'd say a Comp XE270HR. Put a 3:55 in it max. Your engine will be suffering at 5000 rpm

why build a great bottom end, to just top it off with a set of polished turds?

cobra computer is calibrated for 24 lbs so 30 will not work with it. head choice sucks, so does intake and I'd go custom cam once you straighten out your top end.
