I would suggest at least a cam in the mid 23X range. A cam that small will not make much power. With a mid 23X cam you will have a slight cam action and the car will make useable power throughout the rpm band. If you want a larger cam something along the lines of a F14 in a 346 I suggest something in the low 24X range.

That being said - my winter project is swapping out the TR224 for a larger cam.

I'm hoping to not loss too much of that smooth drivablilty with the larger cam. We'll see, I'd hate to have to swap cams out again.
