custom cam to get the most lift you can get in the combination you have.. around $300


For getting exactly what you pay for, AFR is a phonenominal option. I do believe they are the ONLY one to guarentee flow to be within 1% of advertised. I've had 4 sets, 2 saw the flow bench and were within 5cfm ,, and one was MORE than advertised. The 220 eliminator would serve you well for the big inch sbc running under 6500 (which will be your limit with a hydraulic roller anyways) . Be cautious of getting just any large runner sbc head. Some have absolutely TERRIBLE port volocity and would mot make a street friendly motor. The right head for the right job

Wanting to be more serious, ,, well it's only money
Thanks for the info. In your opinion then Marv do you think HYD roller is the best choice or would something else be better suited. The truck will probably only be driven about 300 to 500 miles a year at most.And is 550HP attainable out of something like this.Thanks again.
