Just opinion, I'd go with around 228 duration at 0.050" with about .550" lift on 1.6 rockers, 110 lobe separation. ABDC (advertised intake close) around 54-56 puts you at around 8.5:1 dynamic and 10:1 static compression ratio assuming flat tops and 60cc chamber. Solid roller.

You have really nice heads and intake would be a shame not to put in a cam that would let them breathe. The above would be a little on the hot side for your displacement and rear end ratio on the street.

You may want to think about 3.73 to 4.10 gears and a stouter clutch. You likely will have to upgrade to 31 spline if you haven't already.

Don't take my word for it though, contact Jay or Comp Cams (Scooter) or Predator Cams in PA. Predator did my cam for $195, he helped me pick the cam, ground it in 1 week.

I agree with KLWorra stick to under 230 degrees if wanting a mild street mannered beast. Got a nice combo.

Once you get to 240 and above, then it's getting into the nasty category.
