haha ok, Im putting cam in tomorrow. What should I do to check p to v clearance. I was going to do the turn over test and see if anything hits, but now Im worried I'm reading about it could push down a little further "Valve float" and break my piston???

Ok, so if you peak @ 6600 you're also going to shift there? I know I wouldn't be shifting @ exactly where my car makes peak power.......

The cam I had was a PIG until about 3200 rpms....Yours will be sluggish until a bit higher in the rpm range.

what kind of #'s you think I'll put down. Install is done. Waiting to fix a coolant leak (Gotta replace gasket) and then all should be good. I can't WAIT. Start tuning tomorrow or next day I hope.

Why are we discussing a 230/224, when the cam in question is 230/234?
Itll make nice power. how much are the heads milled, and what valve size? That will determine you PTV. I know what that intake lobe has to offer, tell me the other specs and I can tell youfrom there.

That Cam was made for the Blower you were suppose to be buying with it.It is not optimal for a NA car as it peaks way up in the power range.The idle is lopey and you should check P/V since the heads you are running are questionable on the milling.I'm pretty sure that Cam has XER lobes and I had it cut kind of wierd.
