    Seriously???

    There have been PLENTY of people running bigger that those cams you posted in 4.8's and 5.3's. And the OP would be putting the cam into a 5.7!!!!

    I am aware that the specs I posted are rather large. I'm just afraid that my current TR220 is going to feel much too small in the 5.7. I would prefer something in the 228-230 range. I think that would be more street able with my current stall.

    You can always use the tried and proven 224/228 or 228R

    The 228R was what I was first considering when I started thinking about going with something bigger. I think to 224 would be too similar to my current cam and I'd end up wanting to go bigger. I just need to find someone to trade me cams or sell mine and buy a new one.

    I know a guy wanting to buy one. I don't know if yours is big enough for what he wants though. Would you like me to check? Like... he wants it RIGHT NOW.

    FTI Street Sweeper is a pretty sweet cam. Specs are something like 228/232 .6XX/.6XX 111-113LSA. I've been thinking about getting it to replace the TR224 in my P&P'ed 243 headed 6.0.
