if it has an .030 smaller than stock base circle you need the hardened 7.425's

if it's a thunder they usually use comp i think so it's .030 smaller needing a 7.425

a 7.400 on a .030 smaller base circle will give you bad valvetrain slapping noises

not sure what kind it is but I'm running a comp 224/224 on a 112 lsa and I have 7.4 pushrods and personally I think my valvetrain is quiet as hell.

i dont have any valvetrain slapping noises..


this cam pulls real nice from 3000rpm and up...i need to get my TC in so i can really see how well it performs. You will need a tunr though, it runs like without it....
