How big can I really go? I've been doing alot of research, and I haven't found a definate answer to my question. I have 6.0L heads milled for 11.1 from TEA, the cam I have in there right now is a custom grind comp cams at .550 lift... I want/need to go bigger to actually take advantage of the heads.. I know I can't run TSP's magic stick or TR's Trex cam.... 
I want to run something "big" but within the limitations of my P/V clearence issues... If it comes down to it (being that I can't run anything larger than .580 lift) I might flycut the pistons... Driveability is not an issue, being a college student I don't drive the car awhole lot and not for long distances. My question being, what would be a decently sized cam to accomadate my heads? I would like to see the torque #'s at or above 400.

So with that being said.. how would I know what size I could go with?? Does that mean I can run a 230/224 580+ lift? or no... My current cam is 230/224. What type of duartion would I be able to see with these heads and a new cam?
