I'm running a 228/230 112lsa (COMP XR281HR) with some additional lift. I need to go back and get a final dyno tune, because the stock clutch couldn't hold past the torque peak. Got a new SPEC Stage 3+ so I'm ready. On the slipping clutch we saw 440rwhp at only 5000rpm, so it should be interesting. The cam is alittle lopey, but not rediculous at all. My heads are ported and polished LS6 and milled to 62cc just to give you an idea with that cam. The FAST 90 intake and 90mm TB is a must.

Call the guys up at Texas Speed & Performance. Let them know what you're looking to get out of your car and they'll set you up with the right camshaft kit.

I'm runnning a Comp 228/323 .579 .579 @ 112 lsa nas it does pretty good. It's got some nice tq. I put down 414/385 with full exhaust on conservitive 91 octane tune. It's not the bigest cam but it's a very drivable cam and makes good power for it's size.
