im not to sure on the ptv clearance the cam was first installed by me into the stock motor then i lost a valve spring and a valve hit the top of #1 piston and well teher was a hole in it. so i had HPE build my 383 and i reused the 224cam. i know we decided to go with 8cc dish and 2cc valve relifs becaus ei was using stock heads i was just seeing if anyone had any good ideas on what i should run and still be very streetable

Do you want max effort or tame?

G5x2/x3 or FM9 are good street/strip sizes with very friendly manners in a 383

G5x4 all the way, great manners in a 383. Especially when its time for nitrous

238/240 XE-R on a 113 LSA is great for a street car with N20.
