You didn't mention whether you were running 1.5 or 1.6 RRs.

Comp Cams Extreme Energy
230/236 .510/.521 .544/.555 112 2200-5800
236/242 .521/.540 .555/.576 112 2500-6000
Crane
222/230 .509/.528 .542/.563 112 2000-6000
234/242 .539/.558 .574/.595 112 2500-6300

The 2nd column is with 1.5s, the 3rd is with 1.6s. The Crane 234/242 makes some awesome horspower but it doesn't really start coming on until 3000rpms.

The Comp Cams 230/236 and the Crane 222/230 are both very streetable and nice wide torque band.

If thats what you want then go with the Crane 234/242 .574/.595. Retarding the cam by 4 degrees will move the power band 200 RPM higher up, say 2500 to 6500rpm.

You didn't mention if it was an auto or not. With the above setup and a 2600 stall convertor, you will be like :eek: :steering: :thumbs:
