Default Ive been thinking bigger cam

I've been thinking about getting a bigger cam for the 408. I'm running a custom grind from EPS 234/246 110+2 601/615. I just think I'm leaving some on the table. Don't get me wrong the car Freakin rips. buuuuut I want a more radical idle, I was thinking I could go a little bigger.

What do y'all think?

If go much bigger. That is a cam I'd run in a 6.0-6.2 you have there.

I think eps changes a few numbers around from cam to cam, talkn to another guy yesterday his was like two numbers up or down on intake dur@50 from mine which is 235 243 @50 110+2 610 627. I have ls3 heads, he had cathedrals. Talked to Martin he said to go up to 240 250 @50 range and I agree. Not sayn there's anything wrong with these cams, mine runs pretty good, just know who's cam it is soon as I see the specs. If you want more radical sound and more low end take the centerline back to 104 / 106 she'll pop then.
