Default Cam swap, input needed

Looking into swapping the present TR224 112 cam for a custom EPS 231/234 .617/.615.

Stock bottom LQ4
LS6 intake
30lb red top injectors
PRC 2.5 LS6 heads
PRC .675 springs
78mm TB
1-7/8 longtube headers
4L60 trans
Yank 3600
3.73 rear

Heads are not milled, I beleive that puts the compression I beleive around 10.3:1.

Looking to keep the same converter and still be able to drive it during the summer on tbe streets.

Was specced the cam by Pat G, just want to see if anyone has a similar combination.

Dyno'd 378/361, ran 11.83@115 on the old suspension and small drag radials.

Well ended up ordering the cam today. Sent Geoff at EPS an email last night, talked on the phone with him today. Real nice guy can't wait to get the cam. Said it will take 1.5-2 weeks which is perfect with the tracks opening late next month early April.

I made a similar swap, TR224 to a Cam Motion 228/232 and was very pleased. I think you will be happy with the switch.

Cool that's what I was hoping to hear. What was the difference like in terms of driveability?
