Default Decipher my new turbo cam!

Here is the custom cam that Comp spec'd out for me.

Motor: 404 ci, 9.5:1 compression, forged crank/rods/pistons, WCCH Ported Edelbrock pro port heads, Vic jr. Intake manifold, 90mm TB. 76mm front mount with an .81a/r housing.


231/227 .617/.614 116lsa

I wanted this cam to have good street manners for a 99% street car. average boost will be around 10psi.

What do all you cam guys think?

Check out the cam in my sig that Comp spec'd for my turbo build. Ground on LSL lobes. Showed up way bigger than I thought it should. Now I've changed my mind and I'm doing a Procharger F-1A or F-1C. Time will tell how it will work with a Procharger.

Should work good think good on lsa if you don't want lope bit high on lift like to keep it under 600 but with good springs should be fine. I would like to see couple otherwise identical cams in regards to lift and lsa but with reverse split like that one versus normal or no split to see what difference just the split makes. So many theories out there.
