I'm looking at some TSP packages and I'm liking the PRC Stg 2.5 5.3L Heads, now I'm debating which cam to get. I want one that will work best with my Yank SS3600 stall. What 1/4 mile times are people making with these heads and cam?(228r, v.3, v.2, ect.)
I care about 1/4 mile times more than dyno numbers so in short I don't care what this set-up will dyno.
As for my car it is just the average bolt on car:
Ported/Polished TB
Headers, Catted Y, GMMG Exhaust
Air Lid
Yank SS3600, shiftkit
Minor Suspension work
Rear w/ 373 coming later and built trans later (whenever they break )
I may go the nitrous route as well, but that is up in the air as of now

My main goal is to have a fun fast car (don't we all) but seriously 11.5 in the 1/4 mile is my main goal. Any other ideas are welcome, I've seen a bunch of cam only cars in the 11's. Before I saw this package I was planning on going with the MTI X1 and stock heads. Again any suggestions will be great! Thanks

i'd say 233/239 cam... lsa is up to you. i heard people put down 425 + rwhp and about 395+tq. i'm gonna be running that set up. my lsa will prob be a 113 but alot of people go 112

I could see your originally planned cam working with these heads as well.....

I'm pretty much going the same route and am wondering if the 228/228 might have a better under the curve power band as opposed to a torquer v2. Will be running a Yank SS 3600 stall and standard bolt ons. Anbody? Trevor?

Thanks everyone for the replies so far!

That's part of my dilemma as well. I've heard a lot about under the curve power. But the main question is, is the 228r under the curve power better to have than just a Torquer cam?

I have a friend with those heads and a 224R running mid 11's in a 3700lb GTO. I'd recommend a cam like mine and then getting the heads milled to 62 CCs or so to get that compression bump for more torque.

I recently ran an 11.79@115 in mine. See mods in sig.

My heads are not milled....its just something I would do if I had to do it over again.

Whatever you do, good luck !
