I'm running the Andrew TW21G with ported heads and larger valves and 95 inches. Getting over 100 ft. lbs. of torque. The TW26 would also be a good one if you want a little more oomph in the midrange. You might have your heads checked on a flow bench. Once you know your cfm and your compression then cam choice will be easier. Go to someone who really understands all of this. Package deals always work better.
