TFS 190 as cast, Canfield 195 + custom cam.... if you want to raise the performance bar..... TFS High Ports, TEA/TFS High Ports + custom cam...... it will depend where you want to take your ride in the performance scale.

Custom cams (and any of the head alternatives mentioned) = Camshaft Innovations

It' been asked several times, what are your goals? I know you want high hp. Well then put a blower on and run LOTS of boost and you'll have it. But not for long!!! If you want a solid motor and you are on a budget...forget the supercharger for now. Build a solid motor. There's so much more to it than "throwing" internals into the block. Gaskets, bolts, pumps. How about your transmission? What good is "high hp" if your tranny won't handle it? While some houses are built on stilts......the strongest ones have a solid foundation under them.
