Default upgrading cam

i currently have a tr224-112 and im happy with it but like everyone says if you go with a small cam you'll always wanna go bigger, well they are right again. i was talking to the guy that tuned the car and he said he recommended the g5x3-114 for my car its a 2001 ta M6 with full bolt ons.how would this cam react with stock heads ive im already running dual valve springs so other than that what would i have to change. just curious about the drivability and power it would put out.

Agreed. Keep the cam and just get better flowing heads. 400rwhp is cake with that cam and aftermarket ported heads. tr224 is awesome because there is power everywhere and you dont have to spin so high. I keepin my tr224 and just gettin some 5.3 or maybe LS6 heads.

so what yall are trying to say for a street car the 224 cam and a set of heads will be better than just the g5x3.
