That cam will be just fine, I have a holly that is close to that, I also have a TFS that is close to that. I also have a reground X from cam motion that is just a little stiffer than those. Ported stock heads, cobra, cam, I ran as good as 12.40s at 1.9. Stock injectors and SD. I just tore up a bottom end, which is why I have been a little quiet. I have a set of ported hollys with the TFS in it a systemax intake, still SD and 19lb injectors. It went 11.88 @ 114 but was steady getting faster as I took fuel press away. I started at 45psi, and was down to 39psi. I ran great and I was setting up a 175 shot on it, but a rod bearing let go. So the 342 will be put in next. Put the cam in or you can have one of these, but you need a cam. Are your heads ported? I have set of killer E7s and these hollys are for sale also, both sets are ported real nice.
