Cam question

I have a 2000 ta m6 just bought pacesetter headers and hooker y pipe and my question about the cam I bought it was comp custom ground 232-240 595-605 with 110 lsa I was curious if anyones running this size cam with stock heads. Was just wondering if I would any piston to valve clearance issues with cam. Many users on this site run the t-rex so I was thinking that it should fit because the t-rex is 238-242 608-612 110 lsa, Is this true? The power band is 2500-7200 it starts making power sooner!

dial indicator
soft spring
modified lifter (to take away hydraulics)

Then find your PTV clearance.

.050 specs cannot determine PTV clearances.
The VE's will be different.
Perhaps someone using this cam on stock heads can tell you for sure.

WOW!! That cam is pretty heavy. Is this your daily driver, because that idle might be a pretty rough.

It is my daily driver but I was looking for the most aggressive cam I could put in my car and not start making power at 3500 like the t rex and I was looking at more top end than the magic stick. Basically I'm looking for a ***** to the wall cam that would fit under stock heads for now until I get some afr heads!

I got 349 rear wheel horsepower on a dynomometer which is load bearing dyno instead most of the typical dynos most people use but the car runs fine considering its not tuned. I know for fact it would make a lot more power on a regular dyno. Two years ago I made 335 rear wheel with only hypertech mti lid and borla exhaust and thermostat
