Analyze heads and cam Going to be in the market for a modified LS1 soon and after reading the cam specs article I am confused.
What I have been doing is looking at cars for sale which state the cam and heads attached to the car. How do I know by looking at the cam and heads if the car is going to run right? Or if the car is going to be a street vs strip car.
An example of this is here

The ad states
TEA stage 2 ported and milled LS6 (243) heads w/ 2.04/1.57 valves
custom comp cam 232°/234° .612/.593 112+2
How will this car run and how do you know?

Different people consider different things to be streetable. I would consider that car more street than anything. Others might find that cam to be a pain in the *** to drive.
General rule 232 intake is about the limit for streetable cam on a 5.7. A year ago I'd have said 228.
I suggest you drive a few modded cars to figure out what you can tolerate.
