Default My cam, what do you think?

Yes I know this has been reviewed over and over, but my cam is a custom grind so i'm curious as to how it will react.

I've got a 242/242 .595/.617 112lsa cam with supporting pushrods and valvesprings. I'm planning on slapp[ing a 100 wet shot on there. Will this be an ok setup for that shot? Or should I lower the shot to, say, a 75 shot. I know similar cams react decently, like the trex. But, basically, I just need some reassurance before I slap the bottle on there

(2001 ls1/t56, pullies, longtubes, true duals, etc.)

Thanks,
-Mike

any cam is fine with the spray for a shot that size...reverse split cams will see less power while cams that favor the exhaust side alot with a wide LSA will see maximum power

you will really only notice a significant change in power numbers on large shots of 200 or more

just make sure you have an adequate fuel system

With it being a wet shot, i'm really only worried about the fuel pump.
Thanks for the input
