Re: need opinions...h/c newbie
thats a very mild cam for stage 2 heads... r u going to use a supercharger? if so, i'd get more exhaust duration on the cam, maybe 218/226 or so...

Re: need opinions...h/c newbie
yeah, eventually I'm going to go supercharger, but that's down the road a year or so.
Would this pass emissions n/a? Should I get hardened push rods? What gaskets, and headbolts should I get?

Re: need opinions...h/c newbie
it 'should' pass, but thats a hit and miss item... longtubes on a stock motor will fail a visual test, but may pass a tailpipe test (even without cats)... it all depends on what they check in ur area... hardened pushrods couldn't hurt, and ask ur head builder on what they recommend for gaskets/bolts... just remember that with the lower compression/bigger cam, ur low end power will be lower until u get 'boosted'...

Re: need opinions...h/c newbie
what is the size valve's? if you don't need it for supercharger the heads S2 don't need like this cam's (218/218 561/561 114ls) there's many cam's you can chice it & you'll be better in perfor & hp's, call the MMS and ask about best cam for this heads. check this out with FMS & TR.
For example:
226"/226" .591"/.591" 112LSA
224"/224" .566"/.566" 112LSA
226"/226" .575"/.575" 112LSA
Good luck
