Other camshaft suppliers besides Catcams..... I recommend the OP do some reserch into dynamic compression ratio and build an engine based on that.....

Not sure you'd get to 140... 135 to 140 might be possible... but adding a 256 type camshaft should get you there, and at least allows the engine to pull to over 7000 rpm. Both sets of stock cams (240 and 232 duration) tap out at about 6600......

I know there are many other brands but to me it seems that catcams are pretty good value.

142 hp at the flywheel with dyno sheet to prove it
