Default How about this engine combo?

Stock L82 cam, Torker II manifold, AFR 190 with 1.6 roller rockers and hedders. I like the L82 cam, but it needs a much more stout top end to really perform. Thoughts?

Sounds good to me! To get the maximum benefit from those mods you'll need a free flowing exhaust beyond the collectors also.

Since I have to maintain emissions compliance, the best I can do is hiflow cat and Flowmasters. I was considering a much stronger cam, bigger lift numbers, from Comp, but of course, it wasn't a 50-state legal cam :rolleyes:
so should I decide to do the engine, I think I will keep the L82 cam.
