Barely bigger than stock. Its a pretty safe bet, because with TPI the bigger you got the more you lose out on potential...
Something around 215/215 is probably as high as you'd want to go. The cam you chose isnt a bad choice, but why not go wit ha roller cam? These TPI engines are severely duration challenged. The extra lift and aggressive ramp rates from a roller cam are a really, really good idea when RPM constrained the way a TPI setup is.
