Why such low compression? I'd bump it up to at least 11.5:1 maybe closer to 12.1:1 if you can get pure 93 octane and have a good tuner available.

For the cam I'd get a custom grind done. Pat G has always turned out good results. I used Advanced Induction for my old LS1 custom grind and it was great.

Defiantly more CR, you can spray more than that on an LSX motor as well.

Get a custom cam from Pat G. He did the one for my 427ci LS3 and it's awesome.

You can for sure make 550rwhp, the combo has to be just right though. 200 shot shouldn't be anything.

Contact Brian Tooley! He will set you up with a cam and valvetrain to run reliably and make great power. He also runs a set of TF 245's on his personal combo.

255-271-115,LSL lobes , but more comp, 12.0:1 with 30-35 thou quench.., The fast hurts the top end, spreading the lobe centres helps it hold on but you drop cylinder pressure doing so. So increase static compression to compensate.

Your compression is pretty low, I would bump it up to 11.5-11.75:1 if you can.

Here is my recommendation...

247/263 .660/.660 @ 1.8 rr 112 LSA 110 ICL or (.624/.624 @ 1.7 rr)

It will have roughly a dynamic compression of 8.35 if you go with a 11.75 static compression, which will keep it 93 pump gas friendly.

Brian Tooley ran a 251/266 .660/.660 @ 1.8 rr 115 LSA in his 454 LS7 build which had a FAST 102 mm and TFS 245cc heads.

If you'd like some advice, give me a call at the shop or shoot me a PM. I've done a lot of TFS H/C/I set-ups, honestly they are fairly easy to cam and a monkey could pretty much do a N/A cam for a cathedral port headed motor.
