Default Cam guys...LOOK HERE!

Ok, I am pretty sure this is the way I am gonna go next. I posted up looking for more torque but not a big loss up top before and was asking about LSK lobes among other things. Well, finally decided on a grind that I liked. Its looks like this: 232/240 .643/.649 LSK lobes on both intake and exhaust. I am unsure about the LSA though and thats why I posted up. I am thinking a 110+2, but a straight up 110 may be best. Looking to see what Patrick G and Predator have to say about the LSA, among anyone else's opinion, which is always welcome. Keep in mind that I have a rollmaster adjustable double roller timing set, so I can fool with that too. I just installed a Fast 90/NW90 and am goin back to the dyno March 11th with the current setup, just to see that change, then after that, I will most likely be switching the cam and redynoing soon after to see the change there.

Why a LSK 240 instead of a LSK 236 on the exhaust side?

Actualy I wouyld leave the 240 as a XE-R lobe, like a 231/240, .643/.608 112+4 (if you do not want to flycut)

I have Mahle forged pistons with 4cc valve reliefs. No flycutting necessary here. I got lots of room to grow!! The cam specs I posted are a duration like the G5X2 but on LSK lobes. Not as big as the previous cam I was looking at (235/242 .646/.653), but just a little bigger duration than the 232/236 LSK I had previously thought about also. I want to make more usable power, but not sacrifice everything up top, and I think this cam will put me where I want to be, just not sure about the LSA I should go with.

Predator-Z, I appreciate you taking the time to read this and post up...110+2 is what I think would be best too, just thought I would get you and Patrick G's thoughts on it. I respect your alls opinions on cams b/c you seem to have great success.
