try the gm asa cam 226/236 duration .525i .525e. 110 lobe sep. it should make good power especially under the curve. losts of duration and it should clear the pistons with no problem. i made 370hp with stock heads through cats, and stock pulley, stock throttle body etc. with all the bolt ons and no cats i think 440hp is obtainable with a good set of heads. also you will never have to worry about changing valvesprings.

you made that power after the head swap? i would look into a cam with high 220s/ low 230s duration on a 112lsa. your best bet bwill be to pick a cam according to your flow #s. if anything call craig at GTP, he has some cams that work well with his heads or you can go to his website for more cam choices..

384/379 cam only with a C1 on stock heads is stout. I'd run that same cam with the new heads and see what you get.

Call Craig and see what he thinks-The "pig" cam from gtp or any of the Thunder racing cams should work well with those heads.

I went 123 mph with gtp stage II's and a tr230, untuned w/ stock 26lb inj.; the car weighed in @ 3350.

Good luck

Ok,
Assuming those are GTP LS1 stage 2 W/ .050 mill will give you ~ 59.53 cc chamber (.007 mill for 1cc). Which = ~11.3 CR

With that much mill, you will be very limited as to the choice of cam and the biggest might be in the neighbourhood of 224 duration depending on the head gasket you choose.
Do contact a sponsor to verify this. (actually a couple)

Stick with that cam.
But you may even have to notch them with that cam. 222/222/566/566 112 & 286 Adv duration. I hit two pistons on the stock heads with it. Just don't over rev.

I think he ment don't get the rpms to high, meaning don't redline it or hit the limiter.
