Do you think we are all mind readers...? How do you expect a response without giving any specifics on the most importiant part of this vague question. What engine are you even talking about.

Back to school for you...your not going to make it.

Exhaust might also play in. Since I put a NWOR header on I have noticed a significant increase in power above 3k rpm's. so I am personally looking at cams that will focus on low and mid range power. The engnbldr rv cam is one I'm interested in. But there are a few crawling type cams that I wanted info on.

What are looking to do with it.

It your looking for suggestions lets us know your desired results.
Not trying to be an a** but it kinda happens sometimes anyways. Sorry I'm crabby this morning.

I put the Engnbldr Street RV head with the oversized valves and the 261 cam when I did the head gasket, rather than having machine work done. It Helped, but I definitely needed a new exhaust system to get its true potential out of it. In the end it cost a large chunk of money and it was still a 22re. It's a great motor, but you really can spend a lot of money for a little improvement.

It definitely made shifting at lower RPMs possible without running up RPMs and trying to jump to the next gear on hills. If you are doing a lot of highway driving up long hills, that's when I really felt the biggest difference.

What exhaust did you go with. And did it drop the power band down at all?
