228r or EPS 222/226 cam? I'm getting ready to do a Head and Cam swap to my 1998 Formula and have been searching for a cam that will fit under my heads without flycutting(checking ptv of course). I have PRC Stg 2.5 5.3L heads with 59cc chambers and am using stock MLS gaskets on the LS1. I've successfully flycut pistons before but just dont have tools to do it anymore and am too lazy for all of that!
Should I go with a 228r cam from texas-speed, or an EPS Camshaft, or other? Help a dude out!

Desired power? What do you think my answer is??? The most possible with what I have. The car isn't a daily driver but streetability is highly desired.
I forgot to add a few other things. I already own a Fast92/92 setup and have #30 lb Ford red tops(36psi @ LS1 fuel pressure) and have already upgraded the rod bolts to Katech rod bolts. Also currently have a 4000 stall converter as well as Pacesetter LT's, ory, and Magnaflow cat back.

We have done many cars with a 228/228 camshaft and its a fantastic cam for great driveability and good power. Yes other cams can make more power and others less. All depends on what you are looking for out of your setup. Since you have a 4k stall it sounds like you are willing to give up a little stock like driveability for performance. You mise well go a larger then as long as you have a good tuner.

I'm a big supporter of the TSP 228R, but its hard to beat a custom grind when your wanting a little more performance than an off the shelf cam. IMO Patrick G is the man for a custom spec. Predator Z is very knowledgeable also.
