Wow! Almost my exact cam only on a different lsa. Mine is 230 238 on a 109lsa. I got it custom cut.

Jaywill, my combo is very close to yours too. SBE 5.3 with milled 243's (unported), the listed cam, and a th350 with 4K stall all in a foxbody.

I'll let you know ASAP. My cam is going in this weekend hopefully. I am going to run it at the track soon thereafter. I should have some numbers real soon.

Unfortunately, no. We actually had a lifter fall down in the motor during the cam install. Had to pull a head, etc. Been real busy with work and haven't finished yet. I will start a thread and post motor and nitrous times as soon as I finish it. I also have two converters to try. Sorry for the delay, I know you are trying to decide on a cam.....
