I'll be swapping to some 205cc AFR's more than likely. Once the heads are on the motor I'll be making a clearance profile of my engine, and contacting a custom cam grinder and letting them know what I have. That way they will know the absolute limit of lift and duration that my motor could handle..

OR, I might just end up with another Comp Cams bumpstick... probably one of the XFI series

And topping it off with a Victor 5.0 intake
