Default 224/234 cam?

Sorry for another cam question. I tried the search with no success. Has anybody ever used this cam? I already have headers, and am thinking about this cam or a 224/228 I will also add 243 heads. This combo will be used on an automatic. Thanks for your help.

You plan on adding a stall converter? You can prob get away with the 223/228 on the stock one, I dont know about the 224/234. I would go with the 224/228 if I were you.

Wow thats a bigger lift than my MS3 (237/242 .603 /609 112LSA) I would agree with slow that you are going to need a stall with the 224/234

I thought with only a 224 duration I would be fine with no stall?

I would go with less of a forward split unless that cam was specifically chosen. I would go with the 224-228 pattern if stock 243heads, and you are just trying to throw something together that's going to work well.

224/228 would be fine, but over 600 lift may be a problem. I would do 224/228 .581/.581 on a 114
