i wanted to run a f14 and was told by everyone that it would fit... tsp said that they had some cases where a tv2 would work but was extremely close... the specs are something like 230/232 .598/.598... don't quote me on those specs but they should be close... if you want something much bigger i would say to fly cut the pistons and pick any cam that you want...

I would fly cut anyways, since the heads come off, its not hard to do BUT the guys who already have head work done and swapping bigger cams out, thats the issue especially since they dont want to touch the heads.

No freaking way anything bigger than your cam will fit with safe PTV clearance.

We typically only run the 228R with 59cc heads. After that you MUST check p/v because it will be really really tight!
