I would spend an initial $25.00 and have Brian Tooley or Pat G. spec you a cam based on you specific application and mods. Best money spent.

Huge cam. Prepare for rough ride&bucking at low rpm and in 4-5-6 gear. Mist be a monster up top.

I have a 231-236 and would not go any bigger if you like to drive your car from 2000-4500 rpm. This cam would wake up at 4500 Id guess.

Ask yourself how you drive your car and what you need. Dont chase a number, that would be a mistake.

I'm not a big cam fan. I say keep the intake duration in the 22X* range.

That lift is kinda low, though. Compared to some of the cams I've seen out there. Like TSP's 235/239 cam has more lift than that (.627/.624). Kind of a funky setup. I'm curious to see its graph.

This is the answer to every single "what cam?" question.

Lift is fine although I like exhaust lift just under .600"

The 111 will idle rougher and be harder to tune. The 115 will make power sooner, chop less at idle and drive better at low rpm (as good as it can with that set up)

Ask your tuner for advice, mine suggested I go with 114 lsa vs 112/111. It was easier to tune, and it drives great. I start making power around 3k. I have a TSP 229/236 and made 450whp, but it's very fast. Don't chase dyno numbers, the 1/4 will tell you how much power you actually make.

Actually the 111 will make more midrange power and come in sooner if the intake centerline is the same.
