X2

And who selected the parts? Specifically the cam, heads, and intake?

i purchased the heads off of here, the came off some 580ci engines , the builder chose the cams and intake. YES IM THINKING A BIGGER CAM IS WHAT IT NEEDS, THEY GOT IT SET UP FOR REALIABILTY, I NOTICED ALOT OF ADVERTIESERS LISTING WITH THE SAME POWER.

Yeeeeeeep! Sounds very close to my set up. Not the best at the dock, but sounds mean and runs even meaner. I have AFR's, a little less lift and a little more compression.

Being from a 580 means nothing, need to know what the heads flow at what lift to know what the intake needs to flow to accommodate them. Then you could pick a cam that would work best for your application. You may want to consider the Comp Xtreme.
