Default Trickflow 215cc w/ What Cam?

I would plan to run these in time and am curious on PtV clearance with certain setups. Any good combinations out there? Was looking into the T-Rex cam as the top end is insane which would benefit but would possible mean for the pistons to be flycut. Although the degree angle of the valves in the TFS seem to help. Any ideas?

call comp cams and have them grind you a cam. what are your expectations with the car? comp will know what you need. ive also never been a fan of T-Rex cams but thats just my opinion.

They're 100% streetable.

They're just very peaky power-wise...So a big gear, 6-speed or big converter, and a lightweight chassis is a must. The things I just mentioned can definitely take away from a car's streetability in many peoples' eyes.

yes such a big cam will need to be complimented with some gears... A4 or M6

...plus with a dialed in tune, it's 100% streetable.

to OP, what necessarily is your "want" for this top end power for? the Trex is a very beneficial cam for the 1/4 mile
