I think I will just tell the engine builder what I do, and what I want the car to do. Then let him do his work.
I know how you feel man..

I just picked up a set of 5.3L heads, so I am in a lil' different boat, but the guy selling the heads said he was going to run a 231/233 .613/.594 111.32lsa on them..

I dunno jack about picking a cam, so I'm trying to learn..

I am building a street car, so I need the grunt down low..

It is late down here in Houston. I just realized I "hijacked a thread" and need to apologize to "texasheat". Was just reading and wanted to ask a question about one of my cars. Sorry. bro.

So what would be a good cam for power under the curve with a set of PRC Stage 2.5 heads?

A custom grind that will be the TR224 112...??
