That's a hell of a split for a stock cube NA cam, but should really pick up on the spray. Looks like an LS3 cam split lol.

The exhaust opening is set early, closing is pretty conventional as are the N/A cams and it would serve well with nitrous. Wouldn't be a hindrance as overlap isn't affected this way. Our dedicated LS3 cams also have quite a bit of split and for the same reason. The key to those two cams is the intake opening point set as early as possible without piston to valve clearance issues. Stage 4 LS3 (SUM-8711) allows abut .015 to be taken off the head. Stage 3 LS3 (SUM-8710) allows about .020. In both cases, clearance should be confirmed before milling or it may need to be degreed in as necessary.

I was actually suprised at the overlap when I plugged in the specs. Should be an interesting cam.

We agree the Melling pumps are a good addition and should be done, but there are plenty of examples of people spinning to the moon with standard pumps without bearing failures.
