Please help me pick a cam for TEA 1.5's Need some help picking a cam for these heads. Looking for something with a nice lope and that will work well with the TEA 1.5 5.3's along with my current mods(in sig). Car is not my daily driver, so driveability is not a major issue. Any input or suggestions you guys might have would be appreciated.

I have the TEA 5.3 1.5s w/ a 224/224 (Futral F2). I am buying a new cam too...Hopefully I am not throwing away good $$$, the car runs great & made decent numbers. I want a "bigger" cam though.

Thanks for the reply Predator. Will that cam require flycutting? I have received a couple of suggestions...Trick FLow's Stage 3 cam 228/230 .585/.585 112+4lsa and Comp 232/234 .598/.595 112lsa. Any thoughts on those two choices? Thanks again

TFS 228 is a good cam for those heads (mine would make much more power though)
The Comp 232 as well but will be a bit sluggish in lower rpms. (still mine would make more HPs)
