Default How big a cam can I go?
Hey guys, new to this site but not the cars! Just wondering what you guys think the biggest cam is that I can run with this setup,
Patriot Stage 2 CNC ported heads, 5/8 springs, titanium locks and retainers
LS6 intake
Ported throttle body
Ceramic long tubes
Off-road y-pipe
3000 stall
Lifters
Push rods
Just wanting to get your opinions on it because it currently has a TR224 cam in it but I want something much larger.

I don't know that you would want to cross the 230 range on cams unless you plan on re-stalling to a 3600 or something of that nature.
