A custom cam will net you the torque you will likely want with a low HP est. The trick flow as cast heads can get you there no problem, but there are so many better lobes out there that the older cams cannot match.
We can set you up if you are interested!

well I was looking at texas speeds 224r cam, I just don't know how well they would perform with the trick flow heads, that's my only problem, choosing the right cam for the heads im using, my goal is only about 370 at the wheels

You seem to be on an anti TSP kick lately. I don't see them running down other shops or cams trying to drum up business. They can custom spec a cam just like you or any other shop with any of the Comp lobes. To the OP, as far as a cam, if you want a custom grind you have many options as far as vendors. Since you were already thinking about TSP's stuff you can call them and I'm sure they will walk you through it. Ask about a custom cam & give them all of your details. As far as heads, on a 5.3, I'd go with their stage 2.5 5.3 heads. Huge bang for the buck!

I had a shocker about 2 years ago. We put a 204/218-117 -2 in my car.
Produced 496/530 or somewhere near that. Engine in sig. All about the heads!!! And TFS are great heads!

The 224R is a good, proven performer that has lasted the test of time. That's why it still remains one of the best selling cams out there. Give me a call and we can go over your application and goals with your set up. I'll point you in the right direction and we can discuss going with a custom specced cam. I've specced smaller cams with a lot more torque, same top end or better, and still have the same sound that the 224R makes in a 5.3.

Not anti TSP just letting the customers know that they could be leaving quite a bit on the table. Everyone wants the most bang for the buck, then they need to info to do so. I even promote parts we dont sell just so the customer has the best info and parts avail. Tech info is important also, not just making a buck.

I'm not looking for a debate. Its just that EPS is known to have milder lobes than most. Its also known that Extreme Marine and HUC are not aggressive lobes compared to the standard aftermarket cam.
