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....

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.
