Default heads and cam combo

alright i was just looking at trick flow twisted-wedge head snd they come n two different ones. on has a single spring and the other a double spring, for the single it says can have .540" of lift and for the double .600" of lift. i was looking at one of there camshaft and i found one that is good for 2,500-6,000 rpm but it says for lift it is .542" on int. .563" on the exh. just wonder if it would fit of it i would have the get the 2,000-5,500 cam. thanks

Don't just go w/ the biggest cam... What do you use your car for? What are your plans for it?

The TFS stage one would probably be more than enough for you and you wouldn't need the double springs....

I don't think you'll need that big of a cam for a blown 331. Maybe someone else will chime in that knows for sure.....

Nah dude go with some 1.7's on the stage one that will bring the band up for more upper HP. That cam would be a little intense but who ever does use them loves them, but for a Daily driver I would go stage 1 that cam is awesome, plus it sounds bad @SS. Always the best cam for any combo is a Custom Cam.
