Ok, I think I got it narrowed down to 232/236 .595/.598 but I'm still not sure about what lsa to run it on.

Can somebody tell me what would be the difference in hp/trq, driveability, tuning between running it on a 110 lsa, 112lsa, or 112+2 lsa???

BTW, my tuner Cartek is telling me to run it on a 116lsa for better driveability, ease of tunning, and a broader powerband. It does make sense that I'll have less overlap, but in turn the IVC is also happening later.

Do you have any surging/bucking under 1500rpm? I like everything about the ecs cam except for the power coming a bit late.

The power does come on late and I love that. I have nearly 0 traction issues with 500 HP. It's really good honestly. Yeah there is some bucking and surging I have tuned most of it out though but there is still some there.

I love the lope of my cam and the rumble my car has. Check out the video of my car's idle on my site.

Sounding more to me like you should have gone with a small cam and a boosted configuration, because if you don't like the bucking and surging that can be expected with a bigger H/C setup and you want lower power peaks and still produce 500 rear wheel on stock cubes then you may want to look at that.

My next mod will be fuel/STS-type turbo kit/FMIC/2 bar map and a smaller turbo friendly cam.

I'd give Vengeance a call, they have quite a few custom cams, I'm sure you can find one to suit your needs

Looking back the 500rwhp Vengeance combo had 59cc TFS/ VRX1 with no flycutting and it made 447 rwtq ..448 if you round it .

Yeah but keep in mind the design of the TFS head allows a much more aggressive cam shaft because of the change in the valve angle. That cam may need fly cutting with a different NON-TFS head.

I agree,VRX1 would be the perfect camshaft for NeverT00fast setup

VRX1 is def. a monster, it's actually a bit bigger than the MS3.

I'm going with smaller cam to get power back down low, I'm actually looking for a cam that'll hit peak hp at 6500rpm with the TFS heads.(I shift at 67xx)

I'll be happy if I can still stay at around 470-480rwhp after I switch over to a "small" 232/236 cam, and I'll switch from the 100shot to a 150 then I should be good to go.

Looks almost exactly like a cam I would spec. Well done!
