Which cam? 230/230 or 228/232 1. 230/230 .612/.592 xfi/xer 111+2 lsa
2. 228/232 .598/.600 xfi 111 lsa
Well through tons of researching and reading I have narrowed it down between these 2 cams. Basically I just want to have a solid 11sec car.
I know the first cam has .08x ptv clearence on one side, would this be ok for DD?
What do you guys think?

I would take the first of the 2 myself. I actually have something similar. (230/232 110+2) Your question was pretty vague though. Need a little more info for a cam recommendation. That and the 2 cams you picked are very similar. The difference between them is going to be very small. I'm sure you will be happy with either one though.

I don't know if you seen it or not but Chris1313 got deep into the 11's with the first cam you listed. He's got some weight reduction done but its definately a proven cam.

yes one is an exhuast lobe and the other is a intake lobe. Either one you'll prolly be very happy with. Just throwing it out there but i have a 228/232 112+2 cam patrick G helped me spec out a couple of years ago. Its on lsk lobes though so i would recomend a good dual spring if you dont have one. But i'll let it go for 250 shipped, just throwing it out there as an option incase you are on a budget.

The first one is more powerful.
There is no 228 or 232 advertized durations in XFI (228/232 are XE-R)
The 230/230 would be perfect for your setup, I recommend PP or PRC Gold Dual springs and 7.425 pushrods.
The specs are:
Intake lobe # 3016r
Exhaust lobe # 3725r
111 LSA
109 ICL
It is called "El Torro" cam, "The Bull"

Cam I would call someone like cam motions or another reputable cam grinder give him your exact specs and have the cam ground to how you have the car setup then their is no quessing and the cost to have one custom ground the same cost or sometimes less.

Why the xer exhaust lobe. Doesn't mixing the xfi/xer give you 2 different base circles on the lobes? Won't your pushrod length be different on the intake and exhaust? How much HP would I pick up going to a 230/230 from my 224/224 cam?

I thought I read that around here somewhere about that combo cant be on xfi lobes but the sponsor I got the cam from said it was on xfi lobes.
Looking at the printout from comp, how do you know what lobes were used?
Maybe the 230/230 would have been better but I think i'll be able to hit 11s with this cam anyway.

Well, your sponsor must be a magician. XFI come in 224 intake and then 230 so no 228
and exhaust is a 230, then 236 no 232, and the 230 has .604 lift.
Either you got the info wrong or that sponsor is pulling your leg

to make more trq in midrange lifts
yes
no 7.425 cam only (hydraulic lifters will eat the difference.
The 230/230 is 60>65 rwhp cam properly tuned and installed.

guess which one i voted for...
also i got 7.4 in pushrods and the stock lifters ate up the slack...it is about at the max though so predator is dead on recommending 7.425 pushrods...
gave me 70rwhp with cam, and 85mm lid/maf only changes...
