I need tech opinions about possible new cam?
Right now I am running a TR224 cam....
I am thinking of running a 232/236 - 574/578 on a 114+2
Recently I did a couple of things to my 241 heads...
I already have 918's with Tit retainers on them
I replaced the stock intake valves with Manley pro series 2.02's
Exhaust valves are stock
These heads are unported...
I milled the heads .028 and my head gaskets are GM MLS's
Will I have clearance issues running this cam?

Its a big cam for stock displacement, but I guess thats the trend. The cam looks like an MTI R1 cam, which was designed for 383, but of course now seems small for that task.
I think you will end up with crappy low end throttle response and power with those durations with that LSA -- it will be all top end.
P to V would be a concern, I think you may end up flycutting to get it to work.
