Trickflow heads - wrong cam? I ordered a 230/238 .600 .615 112+2 EPScam when I intended to run stock heads. I ended up going with Trickflow 225 heads and a FAST 102.
Any ideas on how much power I am leaving on the table by not running a cam optimized for the trick flow heads? I have heard that ideally there would be less split between the intake and exhaust for the Trick Flows. What about for the overlap?
I'm not planning on switching my cam, but just wonder how much I am not getting out of a set of 225's by running a larger split cam?

I remember seeing a guy running a 230/238 cam with TFS 215's making 500rwhp. Take a look on youtube, it's a red ss. I'd say that cam will work out nice with those heads.
I suspect that cam will make good power with those heads but, a phone call to Geoff Skinner of Engine Power Systems will get you the precise answer instead a multitude of guesses.
