Default Swapping 585 to 635HO
I'm running a 107 with the 585s in it right now. They didn't have the 635HO when I had my build done. From what I'm reading they look like a potent cam. But I haven't been able to find anything comparing the too.
I'm looking for more peak horsepower. Will swapping to the 635s give me more power?

Did you have your heads ported to match the cam you are running?

What about a Wood 9F, or T-Man 662-2?

the .635`s will work for what your looking for (as will the 9F`s),just make sure your heads flow to .635+ and all clearances will be OK
