just ordered cam...CANT WAIT!!! just wanted to fill you guys in(like you care but im so excited) that I ordered my cam today from TSP. It's a custom grind 224/228 .581/.588 LSA 110+2 advance, 7.425" PR, 918 springs, Ti Retainers & ordered a LS2 timing chain from SDPC. I think that just about covers it!!! Hopefully installing it next week sometime

Awesome man, my cam is a little bit bigger but I love it, I'm sure you will love yours too. If yours lopes anything like mine you will have people all the time just grinning when you pull up next to them at idle

Why did you go with the 7.425 pr length?

This doesnt apply when using milled heads or thinner head gaskets though.

With the XE-R comp lobes you need a slightly longer PR.

Waiting on mine with the same grind but on a larger LCA (114). Can't wait!!! A good idea to put in a LS2 timing chain and LS6 oil pump while you are in there as well.
Does everyone recommend an UD pulley?

Well... lets hope it wont blow the F... up first time out.
Thats a big jump from stock cam, I dont even know what to expect from my car now. Will find out very soon.
Thanks fellas.

You shouldn't have a problem with a cam that size. They are considered mild, especially when you compare it to the big guys around here with M3's and Trex's. Honestly don't skimp on your springs, pushrods, retainers, and timing chain and the car should be just fine.

Nevermind your screwed.... JK you should be just fine as well. Unless you decided you just wanted to save a few bucks and keep the stock springs in there with some bent pushrods off Ebay.
