forged pistons with valve reliefs....room for new cam??? Before my plans were n/a with the 230/224 cam. Now im going to try to spray 200 with the weisco forged pistons and tnt wet kit. I know the intake biased cam isnt going to make as much power as a exhaust biased cam on spray anyways, and I also have more piston to valve clearence with the valve reliefs. Should I go to a cam that has more lift and is better for spray, or will what I have now be fine? I also have programming for the 230/224. I would be willing to change the cam if there wouldnt be any more costs for programming and there is a cam that will make similar #'s n/a, but make a decent improvement over the 230/224 on nitrous. thanks sorry for the long post.

Re: forged pistons with valve reliefs....room for new cam??? If you have a good exhaust, such as LT's, offroad Y, good catback, then you will be fine with that cam for spray. Granted it's not the optimal cam, but will perform. If you're hell bent to get a better nitrous cam, then try a 224/227 with a 114 LSA. The higher separation will allow a cleaner intake charge, due to less overlap. Lift will be fine with either the 230 cam or the 224/227 slpit pattern. I'm assuming it's the Thunder cam.
