A 226 is probably as high as I would go with stock heads. I honestly doubt whether you’d gain enough past that with stock heads to justify the bad idle quality if you went any higher.

Through a loudmouth catback, a TR224 on a 114 sounds just like a T1 to me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Through your cut-out a TR224 or any 226 cam will lope nice even with a 114...
