Default HP difference G5X2 vs. 224 w/TEA heads?

I've been sitting on some TEA's 1.5x heads with dual springs milled .010 that flowed over 300cfm @ 600. I'm just now getting the time for my install H/C/pulley/FLP's/TB/, and I have the CC224 112 563. All this talk about the G5X2 and G5X3 have me thinking I need a little more than what the 224 can provide. Can I use the X2 with these heads, what kind of number differences are there between the two cams, and would there be any adverse effects to doing it? Thanks.

I would call Lou any time you are mixing heads... but if I remember correctly the 1.5s use stock exhaust valves so I think it would be ok... But just to be sure give him a call and get his opinion!

Cut .010 it's gonna be close. I would confirm with LG before doing that...
