Need more specs on the AFR heads, I'm sure. Plus, heads are usually assembled to cam-specs.

You cannot go wrong with a 219 cam. Others may be better, but the 219 is decent. I usually buy a custom grind to match the other parts and pieces.

You can't beat the results that 85vet gets with his 383/AFR/SP (comparable to a MR) gets. Very bottom 11s, at 123+ MPH. and is still a dream on the streets.

His cam is a TPIS 242/242 solid roller cam that was chosen based on our 406 results using the same cam design.
