Default TR224 to 229/232? Will it fit?

Wanting a little more power, would a custom eps lobed 229/232 .585/.588 113+3 fit with 61cc 243 heads and stock gaskets? Also would hoping for 20rwhp with the prc heads be reasonable?

Cam only has 4.5 degrees of overlap at 0.050 and only slightly more lift/duration.

"The LS6 heads do have slightly better performance on the top end. If you're planning on spending alot of time in the higher RPM's, they'll treat you right! As for milling and gasket selection. My gut says you'll be fine with the .040" gasket and milled as much as .010"....but you'll for sure want to check it before you start it up!"

Through some searching I fould this, The Cometic is worth 13 thousands + .10 thousands milling, is about the same mine are milled (supposidly 24 thousandths) This guy was running a TSP 233/239 112 cam.

I just don't want to shell out any money if everybody thinks there isn't enough room for the above cam I mentioned.

You'll have PLENTY of room w/ 61cc. I've ran bigger cams than that on a 59cc head.

Run it.

My heads are 62cc with an .045 gasket and running a 230/236 .591/.601-112 cam with lots of room.

Its good to check but it should have plenty of room.
