Cam question

This is a question more suited for the Internal Engine section. I think you can go up to .600" lift without flycutting the pistons. Most cams in the 220-230 range will not have lifts that high. You get into the .6's in the 230-250 range. Dont forget you will also need some heavy duty springs that can handle the high lift and ramp rates.

You can fit a mighty big cam over the stock pistons. I myself don't know of any under nearly 240* duration that don't fit on stock pistons. Most companies/sponsors who sell cams will let you know on the website that it won't fit stock pistons. For example, on TSP's site there is a little * that lets you know.

Yep, I'm running a 231/237 .598/.598 112 lsa and it's fine... clearance is not even an issue. There are cams that are a good bit bigger than this one (G5X3 comes to mind) that don't need any clearancing either...
