nice, i'm ordering my h/c setup as soon as i decide on it i am thinking the vrx4 228/230 .588/.592 112 and possibly tfs...

chris, what are your specs? any tips/recommendations for that kind of setup? would you have done anything different?

The specs on my cam is a 228/228 113 lsa. Not too sure on the lift, I'll try to find out. If I were to make any changes, I would maybe trade out the afr heads for trick flows if my cam selection was larger like a g5x3 or similar.

Should be a strong runner. You could afford to go a little bigger on the cam bc with six speeds and gears, driveability is pretty solid. Especially if you get the 215tfs, maybe a 232/236? How high to you want to spin the motor? My 228/228 has no drivabilty issues, rick did a pretty sweet tune. Is he going to tune it?
