lol everyweek theres a thread like this..

that motor no longer resembles a typeR huh hehe

id suggest, checking around this forum on builds similar to urs, thers atleast a dozen 1.8L builds here thats making very good numbers, and a few actually making alot more,

check around those builds, atleast a few of them are within the same compression as u ,

that should help you figure out what cam would best for ur set-up..

m22x , skunk2 stage 2 , Pro1's , toda C's , Blox B's .. take your pick !

on a side note , if u value your midrange , u might want to try another IM like a skunk2 Pro , Blox , Performer X , ported ITR etc ..

I'm curious , what kind of MEAn header r u planning to use ?

Well, since you are running a MEAN header and aggressive portwork, and the VictorX IM, go with Toda D's, BC V's or Skunk Pro 3's.
If it was my motor I would run Toda C's or Skunk2 Pro 1's, and an intake manifold that made power below 8,500 RPM.
