im having MTI grind me a cam and i think ive decided on a 232/234 cam with a 111 LSA using Comp Cam XE-R blanks but what lift should i do?

this will be a daily driver with full bolt ones and stock ls6 heads/intake

opinions? im ordering it tomorrow

for longevity i would stick with about .600"

not many heads really flow that well to truely take advantage of much more than that.

If you are using XER lobes you will not have a choice on the lifts unless you start playing with rocker ratios. The XER 234 lobe is supposed to be .598 lift, the 232 slightly less.

i think its .595/.598 right? im thinking of doing LSK lobes on the intake side

Per the comp catalog the 232 duration XER lobe would be .595 lift and the 234 XER lobe would be .598 lift.

If comp cams is the one that will be actually grinding the cam, then just be aware that they have about a 2 degree tolerance. If they ended up grinding you a 233.6 lobe, they'll still call it a 232.

I know cause I ordered a 230/234 .612 .598 111 +2

...I got a 231.6/235.8 .616 .601 112.3 +2.

Thankfully the sponsor I ordered it from (Thunder Racing) stepped up to the plate and got me another grind that was a bit closer to the original specs. They were seriously great to work with!

You could also go with XFI lobes since they aren't quite as extreme as the LSK. A 230 duration lobe with XFI would be about .604 lift. So many options huh?

it never ends, do you think this is to small of a cam for a daily driven bolt on LS6?

where can i find the comp cam catalog with the XFI/XE-R and LSK specs?

That would be TSP's Torquer V3. I chose something similar but slightly smaller, 227/234 LSK/XER .640/.598 110+2.

what kind of power are your making?

PREDATOR-Z

that is a good grind, nice choice.
But if you are looking into low 230 range durations, this is what I recommend

231/240 .643/.608 112+4 (LSK/XE-R), our motors like bigger exhaust splits, because most of us have a rather restrictive exhaust. That make plenty undercurve trq.
it is the Predator-X cam

the 232 234 595 598 is the TSP torquer 2

Have no idea yet, parts are still sitting in the boxes. The lifters and timing set just showed up last week, but I think I will be working on the lawn mower, motorcycle, and boat first.
