Will this cam work fine in a factory longblock?

I bought the following cam off a fellow board member. The specs are as follows;

224/230 .570/.570 112

Will I have enough piston to valve clearence when running comp 1.6 nsa rr's with this cam?

Thanks

Tyler

PTV clearance should be fine with that cam with 1.6 rockers if pistons are stock.

just out of curiosity how is that BIG??
its a mild cam with decently high lift
actually if i had to guess id think it was one of the new comp XFI cams
but that should be a very good cam and give you decent power and maintain streetability excelent choice IMO

Agreed, from mild to insane this cam is right down the middle.

This cam was Jason Shorts. He put down 358rwhp/362rwtq on stock unported heads.
