Default Mixing lobes???

How would this cam work in an LQ9 with stock heads, headers and HP Tuners? I'm planning on N2O down the road and I was a bit curious if bumping the exhaust duration a little more than usual without blowing out the lift would help...might be hard to find the right LSA?

232, .595" XER (int) 244, .595" XE (exh)

If your not using a TON of N20, I would suggest just getting a cam that fits your engines needs/wants, instead of just thinking of a N20 grind. The cam will work. 112LDA or tighter.

It does seem a bit too large honestly. I've been looking at the Torquer v.2 but I keep thinking how large it is also and wonder if something like the 228R or 224R would be better suited for me. Crap I might not even go with N2O if it feels strong enough without it.

i believe you can typically add 4-5* over the same cam in an ls1 to mimmick the behavior in that lq9. just bear in mind the lack of compression. i think something like a 234/240 xer cam on a 112+0 would be nice for what you want. i believe some of the bigger sponsor cams (240*+) use an exhaust lobe very similar to the xe.
