Posted once before but need suggestions

Alright, I guess I'll toss in my 2 cents on this one.

First of, I'd stay pretty far away from comp's cams. I haven't heard much negative on the V8 cams, but I've heard nothing but bad in the past 4 years or so for the slant. That, and they have a horrible selection for cams.

The better option? Oregon Cam Grinding. Pretty much the go-to cam shop over at .org (seriously, they've even made rollers for the slant. no you don't need or want one) Here's their website: www.oregoncamshaft.com but it don't have much other than contact info. How many/what slant cams do they have? I couldn't quite get it to work, looks like you've gotta copy/paste it... app.box.com/s/a00t8svaib0jqevitapq (This is a few years old, the newer/more updated one I couldn't get to work)

Personally, I'd say between 718 and 819 would work for you. 819 is pretty much a Comp 264 copycat, and is the most you'd want with a stock stall, from my understanding.

Exhaust wise, I'd go one of two ways. The easier and cheaper way would be hog out your current exhaust manifold. 2.25" outlet with a gasket match at the head mating surface would be a nice step up. Use with 2.25" pipe and muffler of choice, split for dual tailpipes if so desired.

Option two I'd go with a Dutra front casting, 2" head pipes to a Y about 36-40" back This is supposed to provide more torque than true duals, and again you can split it out back if ya want. Headers are nice, and give more undisputed power, but I wouldn't want to put up with the poor cold manners, rusting/poor sealing, excess heat, and whatnot. Not to mention the price!

If you can't find a 2 barrel setup for under $250, I'd start the hunt for an Offy 4 barrel and a 390cfm vacuum secondary. I wouldn't go the AussieSpeed route. It's an overpriced ($600!) fancy looking intake that has no provisions for carb heat, doesn't perform any better than the Offy as far as I know, is a pain to package (Hope you don't have power brakes!) and long runner intakes generally need to be richer to maintain driveability, causing poor fuel economy and more engine wear.

Lets see... you need more compression, and more headflow as well. Shave the head .050-.075 for the compression part (you actually need to measure stuff for best results, you want ~9:1 compression) and take a Dremel to the lumps around the valve guides if you feel really bold (It ain't hard to screw things up there, but gains are to be had. Do at your own risk).

Stall, gears, and a shift kit would be icing on the cake. It's only money and labor after all! That's what you will find when it's all said and done. Slants have a little different needs than a V8, and don't make the power, but if you're into them they can be fun to tinker with.

Have fun!
