Default How would this cam perform in a NA motor 226/230 116+1

Im looking at buying this cam from a board member, It looks like it would be a nice sleeper cam and also give me a little more ptv clearance with the wider lsa.
the only thing holding me back is that it was spec'd for FI or Nitrous use. I was kinda looking for a sleeper style cam so would this work out well for me or will I be leaving a chunk of power on the table???

IMHO you will be leaving alot on the table if not FI or spraying. The LSA is more along factory lines and the duration may make a lil power over a factory LS1 cam, but will really be similar to stock. Bring that LSA down to 114-112 and that biatch will wake the hell up with same duration and lift. What is the lift anywho?

lift is .598 .600 there was a similar eps cam with stock 243 heads that put down 430whp through an auto. the specs there were 222/226 115. I figured with more duration and only one more degree lsa it would be in the same ballpark. I also have a set of 243 heads milled .025 I plan on using

226/230 on either a 112 or 114. Go w/ a EPS custom cam. Personally I would stay away from a 116lsa.
