Default Cam spec help from the pros

I aquired a new comp cam doing some trading and would like to know if its a good cam. It is 235/240 .600/.609 111.5 +2. I have a 98 ta with stock heads running a custom cam now, it is 232/238 .595/.605 112 +1. Is there much difference in the cams and what would the power range be on each. Looking for some good answers from the cam gurus (sp?)

THANKS,

Jeff

98 Red TA, M6
11.54 @ 119mph NA
10.92@126mph 150 hp N20

I'm going to guess it would have roughly the same powerband as your present cam. The specs are so close and with it having a little less LSA and more advance, they'll probably behave the same. Not worth swapping out if that's what you're asking.

OK thanks guys. Just curious, the cam I currently have 232/238 .595/.605 112 +1.... is this a good cam for a cam only M6?? Reading all of the cam post I get somewhat confused. I have done 6 cam swaps over the years but I work in the medical field and the in depth cam post have me scratching my head .

THANKS,

Jeff

Hope you have a gear for that cam. It will be a slug off idle.
