Heads and Cam....tough question
 
I am looking to buy a set of heads and a cam to match. I will buy roller rocker arms and new hydrolic lifters. In your opinion, what is the best setup for both that would compliment each other? I was thinking about the GT-40P heads and a comp cam or I can't decide if I should get aluminum Edlebrock victor jr heads. I heard that the Ford Motorsports cams aren't that great. I want a cam that pushes my power to my high end and gives my idle a lopping sound. I have way too much torque in the low end, maybe I can move it to the top end....

yeah, edelbrock victor junior, great street head, will definately move your RPM range up...good luck...

Vic JR's aren't ideal for streed driving, they are a high rpm head. I swear by TFS. On a car I had back in 2000 tat got totaled, I had a set of mildly ported TW's a Crane 2432(same as the TFS #2 cam) and a RPM intake and made 318 at the rear wheels. I also had a TB, 77 mm MAF, exhaust, pullies....

AFR's make a great head andso does Canfield.

Mytop 3 are the Canfields, TW's and 165's(the 185's are great too, but they are more of a higher rpm head than thes 3.

Canfield: 258/193 @.600
TFS TW: 253/191 @.600
AFR 165: 250/190 @.600

The TFS #2 cam is pretty wild.....the power gains I saw with that on dynos were averageing 10-15 hp more than the FMS, edelbrock, COMP, and Holley cams. It is a 224/232 duration cam and lifts .562/.543. I did have to flycut my pistons though....forgot about that. IfI were you, I would give Mr. Anderson a call and see what he has to offer in the cam dept.
