The only way I would ever change them would be for aftermarket ported ones or ported 243’s. L92/LS3 heads rape them hard, but you need a larger bore or the valves would have major shrouding issues. Also need a new intake manifold. ---

also, Jdaniels installed his cam/valve train himself. I am sure if you threw him a little Mula he would do it with you. Maybe even just tickle his nuts a little and be done with it. ---

so i emailed Jason at texas speed and this was his responce "Sounds like a nice combo! I think something around the 224/228 or if you want a little bigger a 229/234 with LSL lobes. That camshaft on a 114+3 would be my pick for picking up great power & still driving well with a tune. Jason Co-Owner Texas Speed & Performance 806.866.0734" i told him i would like the bigger cam and asked for a price but he never got back to me. what do u guys think of these specs? ---

sounds good cam 1 will be better when rolling through a parking lot and at rest, and still give great powa…Cam 2 is gonna sound and be a little less friendly…but might gain ya a few extra ponies and more throaty… Id lean toward 1 if ya want slightly more of a sleeper. ---
