Default looking for info on a custom ground cam I am thinking about buying

here are the specs.
230/234 .591/.598 on a 110lsa
I am guessing this would be more of an N. A. cam right?
with the 110 lsa it should have a pretty choppy idle also right?
I am looking for a good cam choice to use with prc stage 2.5 5.3 heads. I want it to have a good power band pretty much all the way through the rpm range from about 2800-6500.

It is pretty close to my cam in sig. Same heads too. Mine has good bottom and carries to about 6800. It will chop like a **** Don't mill because you don't wanna push PTV.

Might have missed it but are you A4 or M6?

Edit: It will like spray ok if you wanna try a pill.

If you run a 224/228 or a 226/230 with a 110 LSA you can still mill those 5.3 heads and you will bump the compression up and have great torque from 2500-6500 and it will not be unhappy at 55 MPH in 6th gear..great street manners..when your duration gets over 230 you gotta be watching the P to V clearance.

Im not to worried about 6th gear. My car is an a4 and I will be running a pt3800 converter. I am prety sure the heads I am getting are unmilled. I really liked my torquer 3 cam with the 111 lsa it sounded mean idleing so I might still go with that cam.

Sounds like a pretty good n/a cam, but should still do ok on the spray. Yes it will be pretty choppy because that cam has 12* overlap. My cam (226/236 110lsa) has 11* overlap and is very choppy.
