I wanna keep the same shift points, just make more top end. What do you think?

12.8 cam only 5.3
sure would like a copy of your program. Did you have idle problems with the 212/218 ? I installed 216/220 and do. I'm running comp cams 216/220 561/564 I like it it pulls good up high 4500-6200 ,did require spring change.

I would really suggest a bigger jump in cams. I have had both and wished both times to go bigger. Have you thought about a TR224/224@112?
Just my opinion.

I would do what stupid fast said. I would say it would be worth the jump from what you have now to that. Since you have head work done i would go bigger in lift and duration.

Well don't you think i'd have to rev it a little high with theTR224/224. I'm already shifting at 6200, 6350, rev limit at 6600. Keep in mind i have 95000 on the clock and only have ARP rod bolts in the bottom. Really don't wanna sling it apart right now. I might go to thunder today or give them a call.
