I am in the process of buying new H/C/I. As of now I have STOCK 853 heads with 918's, comp grind 224/228 cam, LS6 intake.
I'm looking into rebuilding engine and buying TFS 220cc as-cast, polluter cam and FAST 90/90 within the next few months. I already have the heads/intake.
I am wondering if I just install the heads and intake for now, is my 224/228 cam going to be to small for bigger heads and intake ?
Just to put it out there:
- No I dont daily drive my car
- other mods on this car are; built tranny,yank 4K,Moser 9" 4.11, Mac Mids, slp LM, all your other basic bolt on's.

nah you can run the 224/228 with those heads just fine, and if i were u and were pretty serious about running your car at the track i would NOT buy an off the shelf cam. i would find pat g or one of the other guru's and get a custom ground cam.
also pick yourself up a set of LT's and junk those mac's.

when you get the TFS heads contact Chrs 1313 about intake port alignment.he has figured how to increase air flow and power with the combo you are considering.check out his thread on his recent dyno testing,great thinking great results.

If you cant find him or he doesnt respond it is because he is knee-deep in "What Cam" PM's and emails. Literally, he spends lots of his free time speccing these cams out. If he is not readily available I would consider talking to Geoff at EPS. Predator Z is also another good source as well. However remember that he is overseas and your paths will probably only cross overnight if you are in the US.

Just so I clarify, The cam that is coming out of my camaro isNOT a TR cam it's a comp ground 224/228 and is STILL in the car.
For everyone PM'ing me about the cam, It will be in the car for a few more weeks. Never said it was out and ready to be sold. I just mentioned I was going to get rid of it when I do this swap.
