Question need to change from TR224 to a bigger cam

hi all,

i need to upgrade my cam from the current TR224 to a bigger one because my car is no longer a daily driver
i was thinking like the F14-232/234, TSP Tourquer II- 232/234, or TSP2-233/239

tunning is an issue because the car is overseas so there are no ls1 experts there,and TSP can do mail order tune i think,so i would prefer that.

btw,i have stage II 5.3 heads done by Patriot (old version-by Terry) so i need a cam that'll have no clearance issue.

so what would you guys recommend from the above cams or if yo uhave another idea for a new cam?

thanks in advance.

F14 looks good. What gears do you run. It would probably need 3.73 or 4.10's.

All the above should provide a good top end gain on the TR224 but you will need lower gearing to take advantage of the larger cam. 4.10's at minimum.
