I'm going to be hated...cam question! I've narrowed my cam choices down to two.
Either
224/224 .581/.581 112LSA
or
228/224 .571/.569 112LSA
I think I'm going to get 5.7L stage 2 heads rather than 5.3L heads to keep the compression down, but my main question is, what cam will work best, which one will I not have to worry about p/v clearance with, and which one will make more power? I don't really want to have the heads milled.
current mods: Hooker lt's, airlid, true duals
Thanks for the help.

Re: I'm going to be hated...cam question! If your not gonna mill the heads then you shouldn't have any p/v problems
And I would go with the 2nd one, but that's just my opinion

or you could go with a TR224/.561 with single springs. Thread Starter

Re: I'm going to be hated...cam question! What type of compression ratio would I have if I stick with 5.7L heads or go to 5.3L heads (*note* best gas here is 91 octane). These heads are going to be the stage 2 heads from Patriot Performance, so they come w/good retainers and dual springs. Thanks for the info.
Re: I'm going to be hated...cam question! Well my vote would be the 2nd cam. I'm a little bias though as I've decided on getting a 228/228 .571/.571 113lsa (xe grind). I'm sure you'd be happy with the results of either.

Stock heads?
