Sounds right to me.

My 5.3 heads were milled at least .015 to .020

My 224 XE-R has .075 P to V on intake

I've seen my 224 XE-R spec's overlayed with the MMS224 spec's from a cam doctor, the XE-R was a hair more aggressive.

Can anyone recommend a website with a detailed write-up that explains in detail what all the different #s mean regarding cams (lift, duration, etc)? I'm a bit ignorant in that area. Thanks.
