230/230 cam with stock ported 241's?
Ive been doing some research and have seen alot of good numbers from the 230 230 .612 .592 111+2 LSA. But i thought i saw a post about having PTV clearance issues with this cam, but i may have read it wrong? Anyways, i have a set of 241 heads that are ported but have stock valves and i was wondering if i would have any problems with clearance issue if i used stock head gaskets? Would this set up make close to 400RWHP through an A4 with TSP Longtubes and True duals?
I also seen a couple guys that had this 230/230 cam had 4000 stalls in thier cars. Would i need to go that big or would my Yank SS3600 Stall work?
Thanks,
Zach

Your heads will be fine. Stock gasket, PP or PRC dual springs. Your verter will be fine.
There is no clearance issues. Chris wanted at least .080 PTVC on intake, so he retarded the cam fromm 111+4 to 111+2 LSA.
111+4 LSA was .072 PTV on intake.
111+2 is .08x

yup predator is right stock mls and valves
111+4 was 0.072
111+2 was 0.086
just a fyi every 2 degrees is worth around ~.013 clearance when retarded, obviously the opposite when advanced...remember what you gain on the intake you will lose on the exhaust...

no the 111+2 is what is ground into the cam already...so the cam is advanced 2* from comp...if the line the cam up dot-dot it will be advanced 2 degrees because that is what is ground into it already...
here is an example the actual cam i have in my car is 111+4, so my cam has +4* ground into it from comp...when i installed it dot-dot the PTVC was a little to tight for my liking, others might be fine with it but i wanted to be on the safe side...so i used my adjustable double roller timing chain and retarded the cam 2*...so my cam is a 111+4, but the way i have it installed it is a 111+2...so if you order this cam on a 111+2 you can just install it dot-dot with a non adjustable timing chain and call it a day...or even order it on a 111+4 if you dont mind the intake clearance of 0.072...make sure to check your PTVC too because all of them are different...
hopefully my rambling made some sense...

LSA of 111 and ICL of 109 would be a 111+2
Personally I'd probably give up a little intake duration so you'd have enough clearance to run a .040 gasket for a little more compression and better quench. Maybe a 228/230? That is if you don't want to flycut. Your heads aren't milled are they?
