Default do i need a bigger cam for P&P heads?

hey guys, i have a 2000 z28 with a 224/228 .581 .588 112lsa cam (with rods and springs of coarse), 373 gears, ls6 intake, and other bolt ons and i was wondering if i have/need to get a bigger cam for the new heads...i have a pair of 241 heads in a box that im gonna get ported, polished, milled, valve job, full 9 yards to replace my stock 853s along with some LS7 lifters and 42lbs injectors...sound good or is cam gonna be too small for that setup?

That cam will only perform better with higher flowing/higher compression heads.
IMO, stick with it!

If you get the compression up, that combo will make some killer torque/useable power. Id say stick with it and have fun. Might not be king of the dyno but it will be fun on the street.
