The car is burning coolant, and I've already got all the stuff I need to replace head gaskets.
I still have stock injectors.
I have a valvetrain and springs that are good to .600" lift.

Part of me wonders if I shouldn't throw in a bigger cam while I'm doing the head gaskets. The car needs bigger injectors anyway. 30 pounders would pull 85% duty cycle with the power the motor is currently making.

Here's my current cam, vs. the new one I'm looking at:

224/230 .536"/.544" 112 LSA
230/238 .565"/.565" 110 LSA

A guy running this cam with 11:1 compression pulled 411 rwhp with shorties. More info here. Although I'm running a mechanical water pump, I figure that the longtubes would definately compensate. 50 extra horses at the wheels isn't bad at all.

All I need for a cam swap is a front timing cover gasket and seals, and possibly new lifters.

Should I go for it, or hold off and just get injectors for the current cam?

just get some injectors bigger isn't always better.

I vote for you to stick with your current cam.
