Default New cam and p to v ?'s

Alright here are my ?'s
1. With stock valved 5.7 heads cut .035" can I run the TR 227/224 with no doubt of piston to valve issues?
2. If not I'm going to switch to 5.3 heads cut .015" so pick the cam if I go that route
A. TR 227/224 .569/.563 114 +2
B. CC 226/228 .560/.570 113 +1

Any ideas on what to do? What's going to be the best setup for ET/MPH? I have run 11.39@120 with my current setup in sig on BFG DR's. Let me know...

You can definately get away with running the TR227/224 cam......

My car was heads milled .030 and 2.055/1.60 valves, and my camshaft is a 230/226 .591/.569 and I have no problems.......

So you're saying it will clear just fine now without changing heads? If so that's what I am going to do...
