Dont go too radical on the cam or youll loose out on bottom end power. TF st. 1 or F cam would be fine for your setup. Port match the intake and dont worry bout the tune right now. Your A9L should be fine with just a mild setup. But it always helps to tune. Get an adjustable FP reg. The cam in the link above should work fine also.

Nah, not yet man. I ran into a little rearend trouble. Im sitting on blocks now. Gonne get the rear built right with an eaton diff and 31 spline mosers. I think i might stick with the efi but im still not sure. The rear is running me about 1k. [:@]It should be tough though. I hope.

its a nice cam with plenty of duration. should work fine also. without knowing the exact cc's it would be hard to guess the cr
