That could go different ways.

I'll say the 228 Cam is too big for the heads.The catch with the L92 style heads is they flow a ton on the inlet and restrictive on the exhaust.Cam design changed alot with it.A big Cam will stall the air in the midrange causing a big loss of power. On L92 headed 402ci motors I run a 228/240 Cam and make mid 500's to the tire.This cam gained 40hp/40tq over a 236/238 Cam.

On a LS7 Vette we gained 35hp/35tq from 2k rpm to 6400rpm just running a 215/228 Cam.

Both cars drove like stock.
