i'v decided to go with a bigger cam than what i have right now. i'm running a 222/224 566/568 112, and i'm wanting to take advantage of my heads, and would like to make 450+ hp. its a 6 speed car

mods.
pp stage 2 ls6 heads 10:5 compression flow 320 at 600 lift
longtube headers
fast 90 intake
ls6 maf
air lid
full exhaust

here are the cams i'm looking at if there is another one you suggest let me know. thanks

233/239, .595"/.603

The Texas Speed Torquer 2 232/234 .595/.598

i pretty much have the same current set up as you and was wondering like you if i could go w/the Torquerv2 to get more hp/tq out of the Patriot Performance heads and my other mods. My only concern is if i would have to fly cut the pistons, to avoid any touching of the valves to the pistons as a possible results of the valve angles being different from stock Ls1 or stock Ls6 heads. Make sense? hopefully we can get our questions answered...

my current cam specs: Comp 224/224 .581/.581 @112lsa
