I have currently, (I just bought some TW heads on ebay that aren't here yet!), have stock ported heads with a b-cam. It is normal till about 3k, then it hits like a sledge hammer. I actually like the power curve, but would like something that has a little more low-end torque when I install my TFS heads, thinking about the Comp Cams 258 Extreme Energy cam, 206/216@.05", .533/.544.

your going to need to change the springs in the TW heads with that cam above. they claim their springs are only good for .542 lift!!!


like i said the steeda #18 cam is the one you wanted

ORIGINAL: Quik

for stock heads this cam is the best bang for the buck. its the steeda #18. its 221/226 .480/.480 112
Yes, this cam loves the mid-high.
Pulls to 6k nicely then kaboom
