Default TR230 ????

I just got a good deal on a TR230 cam, but my friend says it is to big to use with the stock heads/pistons. So.....I need help. My car has full bolt-ons(with Manley valvetrain), 4000 stall, stock rear gears.

Can I use this cam without ANY problems????? Please tell what you guys think!!!!

The TR230 cam fits on stock unmilled heads, stock valves with no problems. Hell Even the new 236/230 cam fits on stock heads. If your heads are milled then I would give thunder a call and check on that.

Thanx.....Yes, my heads are not milled any(never been off the car)......with the Manley springs, should i have any worries about valve float? My springs only have MAYBE 3500 miles on them right now...and I do have the titanium retainers....
I figured to set the rev-limit to about 6500-6600, the cam is 111 LSA, that should be ok then?

My cam is in the 230/236 range, with 918's after 6K still going strong

only problem you'll have is making sure you don't break that stock rear
