I'm putting together a 5.0 (306 ci) for road racing that will also be a street driver as well. I'll be limited in HP by 9.5 lbs to 1 hp but not limited in torque. The engine will have AFR 165 heads with pedestal mount rocker arms. My first question is I need some suggestions on good but reasonably priced roller rockers. I imagine any rocker that will work on the stock heads would work but would like to hear any experience with some of the different brands.
I'm also looking for the right cam for this setup and not excluding any at this time. I'm now leaning towards the Lunati 15014 which has a duration of
284°/292°, lift of .500"/.510" and rpm range of 2500 to 6000. I've been told by several people that it puts out a lot of low and midrange torque which is what I'm looking for.The only thing carved in stone at this point is the DSS Pro Bullitt shot block and AFR heads (I already own both). I'm also leaning towards a Trick Flow street heat intake with a 65mm TB and 24# injectors.
Any input would be appreciated.
