Look at something in the 224 range. I ran a 230/234 cam in my old 346 and still got 22-23 on the hiway. I got 25 bone stock...

Are an auto car or manual....

Are you an auto or manual?
Which stage 2 heads are you talking about? LS6, 5.3, stock castings?
We need more info.....

You're best bet would be to call a sponsor and have them spec you out a heads/cam combo. Just throwing parts together doesn't work that well. The best setups are well thought out and work very well with each other (heads, cam, intake, compression, other mods, etc.)

I see alot of good results with a tr224.go to the TSP website and look at head/cam combos.

I got 22 mpg on the highway with my cam. I have to be in 5th on the highway at 70 mph, anything around 1500 rpms surges. Around town, getting on it alot, gets like 12 mpg. Its horrible on gas around town.

Well not sure what I got city but it was not real good prolly 14-15. That is really due to the 3600 stall I ran........ I usually averaged 19-20 mixed driving...

I'd say a 224-230 cam with those heads will give you what your lookin for, but the tune will have alot to do with it as well. Gas mileage depends mainly on what tranny/gear setup you have and your driving habits, but no matter what the setup is you can expect 12-15 city and 19-26 hwy. Cam only with an M6/4.10's I average 12 city/25 hwy. 19-20mpg's is what I average a tank.

Alright thanks for all the help

Stage 2 243s aren't the way to go with a smaller cam. You would be happier with a set of stage 1 243s and something like a TSP 228 grind.

if i wanted stage 2 heads what would be the cam to use with it and while im on the subject what would a thumper cam do to every thing
