I'd probably suggest 4.11s for our application. What do you think?

Total boost 12-15psi with methanol injection

Would we necessarily need to change the cam to be appropriate to the heads, or might the one that's in there work just fine.

Cost is the controlling limiting factor. But I have *some* flexibility here because it's such a critical component to making reliable power. Let's think on the order of <=$1,000, preferably a lot less than
