TR230/224 and PRC LS6 CNC heads
230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA
PRC LS6 CNC Ported Heads
this cam caught my eye, because with bolt ons and an LS6 intake, stock heads on a 99 it made 410 RWHP and 389 RWTQ. i was hoping with a good tune i should be looking at around 460/430 at the wheels, and a mid 11sec pass. what do you all think? i was also throwing around the idea of getting a FAST 90/NW90 setup, and hoping for another 15 hp/tq? any personal thoughts on this one? its not going to be DD'ed but it will be driven to shows and i want it to be streetable to a point.

i loved my tr230 when i was cam only , drove great , ran great and produced good times at the track . great idle sound and pulled hard from 2500rpm .
one suggestion i will make though is to get gears with it to make the driveability even better

Our 5.3l heads, Street LS6, and 2.5 LS6 will all clear fine with the 230/224 camshaft. We've sold cylinder heads for those camshafts many times with some great results!

I may be off base here, but since the 230/224 seems to be intended for cam-only cars, maybe you should look into some other cams to go with the ported heads you get. I'm sure you will make great power with that setup, but there may be a more optimized cam for your heads' flow characteristics.
