IF IT'S still SD than being not being lopey will be your concern cause SD calculates load base off a map/sensor which uses vaccum to determine such and changing cam will greatly affect fuel calc/ a/f .......but if it's mass air converted you'll be fine[;)]

my car is mass air must have forgot to list it
Do you have any sugestions on wich cam would work
Also would i need to notch the flattops even though im running the tw heads

lift will not factor into ptv...but the best way to maximize your potential in all areas of the cams performance in your case would be call a custom grinder...you'll spend 20 -30 more for such but the benifit will more rthan outweight the cost[;)]

The best cam for any setup is a custom cam.

I understand what you mean..and I was only making a general statement as I refuse to reccommend anyone grind of cam to anyone cause everyone has an opinion on such and I wish not to have my rear end scourched for recommending the single most important choice = the brain of a motor...as for my OTS cam in my ride ..it performs extremely well..which will be my little secret[:D].....ocassionally I'll recommend a cam or two but I won't force the issue[;)]
