I'm almost ready to get a new cam but I was thinking. I remember that the stock hood is really restrictive so would it even be worth it to replace the cam before the larger valves and porting?
And is there any problem using the stock rockers and pushrods with a new turbo cam? I'd imagine I'd need stiffer springs though.
The plan for the near future is get a turbo cam finally. Then run that for awhile. Then when I get some more money and time, take the head back off and get larger valves and do some head work (maybe lumps). Then after all that, the only place I have to go is eventually getting forged internals or meth injection. It's almost complete! (I use that word loosely)
