Cam choice? EPS vs. TSP
Need to get a cam for my engine her before too long...been recommended the 231/236 cam from TSP. But I have been looking around as well at other cams.
370 with LS3 top end. stock heads, and intake with a 92mm TB. about 11:1 compression with full dual exhaust, FTP 104 lid, 100MM MAF...etc
came across this EPS cam.... 230/246 .600/.609 113
any opinions? would the EPS cam be a better choice?
from what I have been reading, more split, looser LSA is not needed on LS3 style heads like everyone thinks...so I'm leaning toward the TSP cam...but more or less, I want what is going to make the most power across the board...

The one from TSP looks like a good one. I don't like the one from Comp the exhaust side just doesn't look promising.
Take a look at some of the rectangular port cams from EPS. The smaller one has damn near no lope and it says stealth cam for the LS7. The cam that is the next size up is what would be recommended for a 370 cu in motor.

You could do a custom spec cam with TSP, like a 231(lsl)/238(lxl) with a 113lsa.

I'm torn between the two because lately I have seen cams with less split and tighter lsa's making the same peak power, with more under the curve. Seems people are straying from conventional "wisdom" that ls3 heads need more split and wider lsa to work well...

Mainly what I am looking for here is a definitive answer between the cam with a large split and wide LSA, or a more traditional cam like the TSP cam.
basically a unbiased opinion that I wont get from any sponsors because they will try to sway me with their cams over other sponsors...
