What heads and cam would be the best for max horsepower :award

What mods have you done already and what's your plans for the car. There really is no best cam, just depends on your combo. I like AFR heads, but the size depeds (once again) on your other mods.

Define max horsepower.

We all hate questions behind another question but it's hard to tell if your not specific. What motor you have and what plans to you have.

I have the same question
I have a 93lx with a 5.0 5speed
my modds consist of an edelbrock Performer RPM II intake manifold with a 70mm edlelbrock TB. Mac headers, H-pipe, & exhaust. CAI and a PRO 5.0 short throw. I have 373's also
I think I want to go w some AFR heads
I also plan on going with a Vortech in a year or so and also plan on doing a 331 piston kit
What cam and head pack do you guys suggest?
And I am guessing that when I do the cam and heads, i will need to get a bigger fuel pump and injectors??

AFR, Trick Flow and Canfield are all good. Keep in mind that Trick Flow heads are the only heads with 2.02 intake valves that will clear stock pistons. Any other head you use will need a maximum of a 1.94 intake valve or they will not clear the pistons. AFR heads also have junk valve springs so you will want to change them before you put them on your car or you will have problems down the road.

What cam and cam size should I go with
I changed my mind on the AFR's I think I will go with a set of twisted wedge heads
