Im going with Crow 621371, Crane 2030 is also popular. As I said in yer other thread, dont use the Chiptorque Chip, edit it instead - pricier option but gives you a lot more scope to work with and an overall better result.

Trickflow TFS-51402001 cam.

Stay away from chiptorque chips, go straight for an Edit with a custom tune.

If your going pulling the motor down to do a cam, while your at it, you should upgrade your Rockers and pushrods.

What he said, Austin has done a lot of reasearch on this recently so his advice is sound.

"Performance" chips are rubbish and very old tech. Edit is the way to go.

The crow works well in mine ,as also said it would pay to upgrade you springs ,collets etc just to be on the safe side.And go for edit.
