Default Trex cam

Thinking of do a build on a stock ls1. Going to keep it a 347 and just build the bottom end. Would like to know if the Trex is to big for the D1SC procharger and if it is what is the biggest I would want to to. Also what size heads should I look into. Would like to get as good of numbers as I can.

If you're going to go to the trouble to build the bottom end then go ahead and switch the cam out. It's not near ideal for FI and might hurt more than it does good. A stock cam or Z06 cam like I have will do wonders on a D1sc.

I run stock truck heads...they have a larger combustion chamber than the ls6s but are nearly identical port wise and will allow a lower CR. Don't have a clip sorry. Sounds good though.
