Hey guys, just wanting to get some opinions on if you think my engine is strong enough for two separate cams I'm looking at? Here's my internal setup,
Patriot Stage 2 CNC Ported Heads
5/8 Double Coil Springs
Titanium Locks and Retainers
Comp Cams Chromoly Pushrods
Comp R Lifters
I'm currently running a TR224 cam but I'm looking at the GM Grand Am Cup cam and the Joe Overton "T-Rex Killer" cam. I'm planning on having to flycut the pistons but just wondering if you guys think the internals will hold. I also have a full intake system upgrade and full exhaust system upgrade so it can breath just fine. Thanks guys

"5/8 double coil springs" <---What does that mean? What springs? What company? How many miles on them?
How many miles on motor? How has it been treated? Ever had a leak down or compression tests?
