Forgot to mention Chet Herbert races turbo LS1s out there in cali and this is slightly smaller than what they are running.

Yeah thats why I havent installed it yet but the grinder of this cam told me that its gonna have a slight lope and anything passed 3500rpm I better hold on to my undies.

I know there is a cam out that is for a N/A motor the majic stick 3 cam that is real close to this one, like only a couple of degrees difference but the center is like 112 which makes it idle kinda hard. But man it sounds nice and runs good
