Just curious because I am kinda looking around at cams for my 370ci w/AFR 225's, and I am going to be running the same turbo as you. My cam currently is a custom ground by LME. 236/232 - 114LSA .603/.603
My cam does well. I don't know if any others would do better as I am no expert. I do know things spool well but my power does peak early.

I will say my cam is similar to what you have now. 23x/22X 115 62X ish Also this was more ideal for my old 347 combo as I reused it from that build

Yeah that was a typo. I think it is 232/228 but I am not 100% sure I would have to go find the cam card.

P325/50-15 are those on 10" rims with 7.5" backspacing? If so what did you have to do to get them to fit?

10" rim 5.5 BS as my rear is narrowed 2" per side. All I had to do was BFH the inner fenders a bit.

Yeah I saw he went with a bigger cam. My cam was originally picked for my last stock cube motor. And I didn't feel like spending the money to change it last year when I built this motor. maybe I will someday

I think I am not sure. I know I cut mine off but might have been for weight reduction.

Also most the BFHing was needed to the front lower part of the inner fender

Just a quick update. 2 weeks until I head to Georgia for the Chevy High performance Nationals at Atlanta Drag way so I was out tonight changing plugs (I haven't changed them since early fall) I was also checking around since I had noticed slight exhaust tick. I found a couple loose exhaust manifold. also setup everything for the new version of HPT.
I am hoping the weather holds out tomorrow and I can head to Cecil for some last min testing and make my first couple passes on a pro tree in prep for the event.
