« on: March 02, 2015, 01:58:47 AM »
i wanted to pick up a pair of kelford cams http://www.camshaftshop.com/products.php?categoryid=117

Im not sure, you may want to give them a ring and ask them.

I think the first bottleneck is with the lift & stock springs binding
A lot of folks convert to mechanical lifters to run a much higher rev limit. The stock springs & HLAs float above ~7200 RPM
