238/240 605/609 112LSA...opinions?? I have the opportunity to buy this cam brand new for a hell of a deal. It's very similar to the MS3. I'm still a cam noobie, but I have been reading a lot and trying to learn. I need experts to help me with this choice. Mods are full exhaust, SS4000 and will eventually get a LS6 intake and probably 3.73's. The gears will be awhile though. Heads will follow in the distant future.
Patrick G recommended a custom 230/230 592/592 110+4 a while back. But this is quite a deal and if it will work well, I'll go with this. Also want to make sure no flycutting is involved. Looking for input on driveabilty and where it will make good power. As with everyone else, I want the most midrange I can get and a really sick lope is always a plus. What do you all think?

It's actaully very similar almost identical to the HPE S-cam

I take Patrick G's recommendations very seriously, but for the deal I have on this cam, if it will work with my setup, I'll go this route. Just looking for info on what kind of power I can expect and if anyone else has feedback on this particular sized cam.

I agree with the last 2 posters. I think that would be to big a cam for a daily driver. In addition I think it would leave you lusting for power just about everywhere. From my understanding, with that size camshaft you would not be able to do anything to get your compression back up without having to flycut. Since the large duration numbers will drop your DCR way down it will most likely be lacking just about everywhere. Even up top, unless you absolutely maximize all of the other bolt ons to capitalize on the extra HP north of 6000 rpms, you will most likely be disappointed. That is my .02 cents, but then again I still have a stock cam in mine (for now).

That cam would be excellent with higher compression, better heads, and more gear. For a stock-headed LS1 with stock LS1 intake, this is not the cam to run if you're looking for robust mid-range torque. That one is a very top-end biased cam. I'm talking a 6800-7000 rpm shift point. Not exactly what you'll want unless you're ready to step up the internals of the trans, add more gear, and do a lot of serious tuning.
The 230/230 110LSA +4 is a no-brainer for your cam-only setup.

That's what I needed to hear. I appreciate all the info guys. PatrickG, I will be contacting you when I am ready to buy. I have other questions for you, but I will pay the fee and use your vendors. Looks like I'll be passing this one up. It's for sale in the Sale section if anyone else wants it. Awesome price for brand new cam!
