Should be a good cam. Close to the specs of mine. I bet that would work good on spary as well.

my girlfriend has the comp 224/230 on 114 lsa with patriot ls6 style heads 59cc. the intake valves are 2.055 and the car is totally streetable. she ran a 12.1 @ 114 mph with that cam and stock unported 243 heads. car is 3700 lbs race wieght as well. hopefully with these new heads, she can get an 11 sec pass on 17 inch drag radials

It's a good all around profile. Needs more overlap imo. It make great trq and pulls anywhere from 2200-6100k.

Pplenty of people over here use it with good results and it has excellent driveablity in street cars. As far as Comp's catalogue cams go, it seems to be one of the better grinds.

cheers,

Macca
