CJ: intake 13mm lift, 263 adv duration. Exhaust 13mm lift, 290 adv

Stage 3 comp: intake 12.5mm lift, 276 adv. exhaust 11.5mm lift, 283 adv

The cj's are "bigger" cams but the CJ cams have too much lift for stock gt heads. There is machining required as well as different springs. They are bolt in for boss heads.

Whether bigger makes more power...Who knows?

Sounds tempting to try, but for the labor cost and minimal gain from where I stand...I do not think it is worth it.

Definitely not worth the effort as you already have impressive numbers. But given a choice, the cjs may have been a better choice. I think comp optimized their cams for gt engines. The cj's were developed on the boss engine.
