Is this a race only application???
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but your previous ET is not very good with a cam that big, if the specs are correct...260@.050??

EPS has got some real good reviews.
There are guys going mid to low 11's on 220-ish duration cams. Something seems "off" in your combo to be going high 11's with a 260.

it was an old 23* headed motor, the heads looked like steevie wonder ported them with one hand,and i had less than 300 bucks into the motor from intake to pan lol. the duration was huge, but i think it crutched the horrorible heads lol.

that motor shouldnt have gone faster than 13's probably.

I am interested in your findings. Seems everyone building carbed setups uses off the shelf or used cams to keep in a budget. There is not a lot of information on "carb" cams out there for LS stuff.

From what I have read looks like a wider split is favoured by the vic intake but i cant confirm anything. Let us know what you end up going with if the cam builder allows the information out.

Based on my recent experience. I would say between 230/234 - 234/238 on 110 LSA with a 108 ICL. I would not go bigger unless you had more gear and want to spin to 7000 RPM.
