Who's 236 cam is that? you can use it on a stock head, remember that these heads flow a lot better than old school SBC heads from the factory. I would mate either one of those cams up with a set of Patriot gold dual springs. Also do you know what set of lobes that 236 cam is on?

the F1 is a reverse split? eeewww... don't buy that. I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to run a reverse split on an LS engine. I can't think of a single instance it would be the choice cam.

I personally have not ran a reverse split cam; but TR's 230 cam is a 230/224 on a 111 and there has been a bunch of cars have great success with it. I think that MTI also had good success out of reverse split cams. That's just to name a couple. I believe that Predator Z is also a firm believer in the the TR 230, may be wrong though. Anyway, to the original poster, Good luck and there's several happy people with the F1!
