the spray should work fine...as i can see its not a reverse split cam...get some dual valvesprings and hardened pushrods even a set of titanium reatainers....you hsould see some good power with that cam...just remember to go bigger than what you want...i thought my 224/227 114lsa was good now im going with a 236/238 .601/.605 112lsa...

i have a very similar cam but with slightly more exaust duration. for valvetrain i used 918 springs and hardened PR's. everything else stayed stock. run's great, good mid range and a very flat torque curve.

looks like the patriot cam. With our (stage1) ls1 heads/ls6 intake/bolt ons, I have seen 400-420rwhp. Stock heads/bolt ons, usually around 365-380. very mild and docile cam with tune.

You should see 30>40 rwhp tuned with headers.
Will work fine with even a 150 dry shot (not to be done unless you have fuel and tune to support).
It is a comp XE-R lobed cam, you'll like it.
You need 7.40 push rods and 918's

You'll love it. I've got a 226/226 581/581 114+4 and I made 398.9rwhp with full bolt-ons. I see you making a few more hp because of the LSA....and especially if you get heads.

I've got the GTP 226 cam. Just a little more lift. Look at the patriot spring kit. You can get dual springs, Ti retainers, locks, seals, and seats for less than the 918s w/Ti retainers.
