Sounds like you're trying to build on the cheap side, but yet have a high rpm, high horsepower engine. Those don't happen together.
What are you wanting to do with the engine? And how high rpm are you wanting? For a street-driven truck, how much rpm do you really need?
I'm not looking for anything crazy. The cam I am putting in is a comp cam with about 505 lift and 247 duration at 050. Little bit bigger heads than what was stock to support the cam.
