ls2/ms3 cam/ls3 heads Currently I have a stock ls2 out of a gto swapped into a g body. I just did a cold air intake, long tubes, tsp ms3 cam with prc .650 springs and tune. I'm looking at getting a set of ls3 heads and intake eventually and wondering if there will be clearance issues with this cam?
I know this cam isn't a custom grind, or optimized for an ls3 but I cant see why it wouldn't work if it doesn't have ptv clearance issues? Would fly cutting be necessary if the heads were milled to bump the compression?
I tried searching google for answers on multiple forums but haven't really ran across anything.
would the ls3 heads and stock ls3 intake offer more of a hp increase then just putting a fast 102 on top of my current, stock ls2 243 heads? It seems like you can get ls3 heads and intake for the price of a fast intake.
Thanks!

i have seen smaller cams not fit. 231 is about tops on the intake and 239-240 on exhaust. the lsa wont matter a whole lot on that as far as trying to make it fit either.
you dont need a larger cam like that to make power with those heads.

If you want to check bolt the heads on without gaskets and roll it around a few times. An even better way would be to make a solid lifter or use one and try it loke that and use machinist clay. play dough wont work. some people use tootsie rolls but that is a bit redneck. then measure how much the clay is compressed...or more likely cut in half...
