Default I need some advice

Alright, I have a 2002 SS and everything thats been done to it is from the the previous owner. All I have is a list which still doesnt seem to tell me everything. I want a bigger cam but I also want to get the heads milled. The cam thats on right now is a Crane 224/228. I just need some help figuring out how much I should mill the heads and what size cam I could put on to go with it. Thanks to whoever helps me out.

I think that getting your heads milled is a waste of time...IMO...especially on a otherwise stock car...

Before I did that I would look for a good set of used 243's. They can usually be had for around $500. They have a 64cc chamber which will give you a bump in compression as well. I had a 228/232 612/600 111 that was awesome on the street and easy to drive. Many choices when it comes to cam selection. I like to leave that decision up to those that design and grind custom cams. You tell them what you want, they grind you a cam.
