Help me spec my cam or pick one I need some help deciding what size cam I should have made for me. I have a deal to get a cam of my choosing from comp. I also would like everyones input on the different lobe selections. I am considering having it on LSL lobes. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.
Also, everyone please keep the opinions about a comp grind or lobe. Thanks

All ARP hardware
Also Spohn Solid Motor Mounts and Prothane Tranny mount
I do currently Daily Drive my car but that will be changing within the next 6 months. I want a very stout powerful street car, yet not a complete nightmare to drive. Here is two that were suggested to me
230/236 600/610 110 LSA
or
231/235 .617/.621 110 LSA
I want a broad power range and shift by 6800 rpm. Also a very lopey idle and sound. The tighter LSA's were suggested to keep the power band lower in the rpms
Lemme know what you guys think about cam specs, lobes and if anything besides the cam is missing for my swap.
Thanks let the games begin

Not sure if this helps but I'm looking at the comp 231/239 113 lsa, has a broad power band and strong mid range, seen some good results with it and also looking at the next step up the 235/243 113 lsa with a broad power band, was looking at the first one when was a 5.7 now iv stroked it to a 383 am Inbetween which of the two, but leaves options open if you do further work later on, I think both are Lsl lobes. Lift is same on both, I think was 617/624 lift.

To ss454327... I'm not opposed to getting shelf grind. I just have an opportunity to get a custom comp grind cheap and wanted to get one to opptimize my set up.

I'm sure that their are plenty of people on here that could help you size your cam, but I *strongly recommend just giving a cam manufacturer a call and give them details about your setup/expectations. They will help you select a perfect size cam to best fit your current setup. Just a suggestion.
