Default LQ9 + cam?

got an LQ9 and will have a 3000 stall, looking to buy a cam from a fellow member. wondering how compression and piston to valve clearance will be affected. also how it may perform NA as well as the occasional spray...
cam specs are; 223 225 564 571 114+3

I think that the LQ9 would respond well to that cam, go for it.

That cam will perform great, on or off the spray!

Anyone running a 224/228 580/581 on a LQ9. I will try to install it this weekend along with roller rockers, rods, springs and drop the tranny for a shift kit and 3000 stall.
