Default Started teardown on my EPS/TSP swap today
After a long wait to be Union Employed again..... I finally got to start my heads/cam swap today for my camaro!

Already have a TR224 cam only in it with most of the bolt-ons.

New set up will be:

EPS 234/246 111lsa
TSP 2.5 ls6 heads
ls7 lifters
double roller
ARP bolts
TSP 1 7/8 headers

This should all match well with the built tranny / Yank 4k and 9" w 4.11's

Not that anyone cares.......lol

Why the 12 degree split? You going to spray it? Good luck with the build.

my guess is because the 2.02 intake and 1.57 echaust valve. It will give the exhaust valve the opportunity to stay open longer. or you have the nitrous cam option

Probably not gonna spray this one, but yes I do have the bigger valves and what the hell. Plan on a 402/8 stroker in the near future and the cam will do well in that build.
