Default PtoV question?

I'm running a XER 224-224 580-580 cam in my car now.
I'd really like to add alittle more cam,Something like the 232-234 cam.

Do u think I'll have to check my PtV even thought my stock pistons are already flycut?What kind of power do u think I'd get ove my 224,5 to 10 RW and more under the curve?

I think if you go in the 232/240 on 112 range you'll pick up 15 RWHP with tuning with an A4 How deep were your current cuts?

Which heads are you running now, or will you be running with the new cam? How much were they milled? What size valves? I just installed a set of TEA Stg. 2.5 5.3's, milled .030", and they have 2.055 int, and 1.60 exh. valves. The cam I used was a Comp custom grind, 232/236 .580/.580 110 LSA, but it was ground on the Renegade lobes. I cut my pistons .060", and feel like I had plenty of clearance.

I still have my Cartek heads and I'm keeping them.
I decided I'll have to pul lthem over the winter and check PtoV just to make sure how much cam I can run.I believe there .030 and I know they have 2.02/1.60 in them but again I'm not taking any chances.

I'll just change the cam over the winter.
Thanks guys....
