An "RV" or econo-cam will give you some lump, and improve fuel mileage at top and, and launch times at low end.

My fav is a 400Jr. Lots of lift and lump, major git up and go. Fuel mileage, not so nice.

Dont forget to magnaflux those heads BEFORE you have them worked on.
Nuttin worse than finished heads with hair line cracks in them.
