Jeff is right. If you want a cam/head combo that pulls to well over 6K RPMs, the Stealthram intake manifold is the way to go. You'll trade some bottom end torque, but gain big-time upper RPM horsepower over a TPI manifold. Even modded TPI systems (bigger runners, ported plenum, bigger TB, etc.) run out of air around 5500 RPMs, so using a cam that makes peak HP above that is useless. If you decide you want a really torquey motor that won't see above 5500 RPMs, then keep the TPI and modify it with the bigger runners and TB.
