I am not a fan of big cam in LS motors
your talking 5.3 to 6.0...bigger motors can swallow a little more cam.

the 228r should make 12's on motor with the stock heads.

he is running a 5.7 not 5.3... i ran 12's with a 5.3,tsp224 and 3400 stall... 228r and a 3400 stall would easily be 12's... get some work done to the heads mid 12's with the a good 1.6-1.7 60''

bumping this thread how would a 224r cam with a 2600 stall compare to making 12s or 13s?

or more specifically this cam? im looking at picking it up used

Comp Cam. 224/228 .533/.538 113+4 LSA

Nothings impossible, but a 3200 would suit it better and still maintain driveability

Dude, ive been thinking about how that cam would work in the ls1 i bought.
I was going to put the cam in my sig. in it but now im on the fence about doing it or buying one like you mentioned. Since there are more cubic inches i think a tad bigger cam would it some justice.
