Default What size cam will fit with 5.7 heads milled .030?

What is the biggest, best, highest power cam that will fit with ported stock heads that are milled .030. With 2.02 & 1.60 valves. Which are better, standard splits or reverse splits? I am getting some TEA or PP heads 5.7 not 5.3. Who else has these heads and how much power and what will I run at the dragstrip?

dont go higher then 226-228 without claying it first and checking clearance. with the heads milled .030 i'd stick with a 224 cam to be safe. well need more info on your whole setup and goals to give you a better decisions.

you can fit larger than a TR224 with your setup....

I have 5.7 heads milled 0.030" with 2.08/1.60 valves and with my TR224 I have in excess of 0.110" P-to-V clearance
