I don't think bigger cam is going to give you anything worth your while over the XE cam you selected there since you have stock heads.

That particular cam, the 503, hotcam, 305, etc, haven all proven to be great cams for stock heads over the years.

I ran the 503 for quite a while and found the power it gave all over the place to be lots of fun. A larger cam may have put down a higher peak power number (of course - it also may not have) but that wasn't what I was looking for. I wanted a more 'all around' cam, more power everywhere vice a certain rpm range.

If you decide a bump in power is needed later, ported and polished heads and a matching cam would be the next step IMO.

Depending on the health of the shortblock, a freshening of it at a minimum may be in order prior to a serious upgrade like the heads & cam.

Just my opinions

Yeah, I was considering doing a rebuild on the shortblock. However I am wairy of the costs that includes.

I guess I oughta check out how I like the bump in horsepower from the headers and cam before I decide I want more. Haha
