I still see it making around 360 rwhp so around 60 over stock like you were asking.

I agree go bigger then a 224. I had a 224 in one of my C5's I made around 400 rwhp with short tube headers. I would recommend a 228/232 114 or 112lsa. Nice power and easy to drive still.

Now I have a 223/228 115lsa only because of the blower

I ran a 230-236 112 +2 XE-R cam with those heads and a ported 90/90 setup in my 346. I made 460RWHP.

Good luck!

LOL - I liked that example when I heard it. Makes sense.

Hey, just found this thread. Thanks for all the props guys.

Uncle John, if you're worried about idle quality and driveability, don't sweat it. You can go with a significantly larger cam and we can still work with it.

Anything in the high 220s low 230s I should be able to make drive near perfectly.
