Default Piglet cam question

I came across a really good deal on some parts for my car and had a few questions.

What exactly are the specs on it?

How much advance is ground into it?

With GTP stage 2 5.3 heads flowing 324 @ .600 lift how high would I have to spin the motor for best results?

With the above mentioned setup how much could be milled off the heads without worrying about piston to valve clearnces?

I know some of you have had experiences with this cam, any input would be greatly appreciated <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I think the piglet cam is advertised at 223/.585 lsa 112, but I have heard the lift is closer to .590. The cam is a screamer and produces a crazy amount of tq.. Those heads and this cam will work great. You do not have to mill any and I would not if I were you. All you need is ls1edit and you will make crazy #'s.. The problem with people now a days is that we want to push the limits.. You want a reliable setup. Stay with what Craig @ GTP gave you and install the cam. You will be more than satisfied..
