Default H/c 5.3 N/a

I'm wanting to build my 5.3 with my tax returns. I'm looking at some 215cc ET performance heads w/a 54cc combustion chamber and want to know what cam I should match them with, or if I could put 1.85 rockers on my current cam(TR224 .563 on 110lsa), and give it .613 lift, and then use the saved money to get a better intake and injectors.

Any opinions would be appreciated, especially if you have experience with this set-up.

that cam should still do damn well with those heads. Just save the money for an LS6 intake

no this is what im refering to


well gosh i wish u would have told me about the injectors earlier

if the ramp rate is fast on that cam maybe with 1.85s it will open to quick and u might have some ptv issues

according to where I got the cam I shouldn't use any aftermarket rockers so I'm not going that route.

and I found another set of injectors, so no big deal..
