It's a great steet cam. Just get the springs, PR's, some Ti retainers and you won't be able to wipe the

off your face.

Hell, beehive spring PAC or Crane,etc.. LOL will handle that profile with stock retainers. That cam peaks around 6100k or so anyways.

Should be a good camshaft for you, we use a lot of the 224/228 camshafts with XER lobes & have great results!

Let us know if you need a good spring kit for that camshaft!

Thanks Jason.

I am contemplating keeping this cam, or just selling it and going with a 228R cam swap package from you.

223/230 Cam

Stuff that puppy in there ! Should have good street manners and won't be a big problem to tune. Also should drive good with a stock torque converter.

I tried a 228/232 in a stock LS1 couple years ago and it had a pretty rough, but stable idle. I'd say very close to my 402 with the 231/237 cam which has some low end driving quirks with a 6 speed.

Good luck
