Said there's maybe 10-15 ft/lbs and 15-20 hp difference between the two. Obviously, my heads are the overall limiting factor.

I asked about the RAIV roller grind and he said he'd choose the 236/242 hands down over it. He also indicated that it's geared more towards iron d-ports that need more help on the exhaust.

425-450hp is a nice step up from what I had, but I think I'd be disappointed with the mellowness of the 230/236. I'd much rather change out a converter than a cam later, so I'm inclined to switch it up and go with the bigger cam on the 114.
V 68,

Will you have the engine dyno'd before you put in the car? If you do, could you show the results? I plan on using the cam my engine builder suggested. He hasn't let me down yet. Besides, there is not much of a difference between them. I will post the results when the engine is dyno'd. Unfortunately, that may be a while.

Cool build!!!!

My RAII is going into a 1969 GTO, Limelight green with dark green cordova top and dark green interior.
