Reverse or regular cam
Reverse or regular cam I am rebuilding my ls1 due to a spun rod bearing. I have AFR 205cc heads. this car is my dd so i want alot of average horsepower. driveability would be nice. 6 spd car. i was reading on going with a 228 224 110lsa reverse cam or was looking at 228 230 112 reg. cam. which one would be better for my application ? THANKS
with the AFR's, you're already flowing good numbers, so a traditional cam is going to be a wiser choice
Are you still on the LS1 intake? i didnt see anything in your sig...
i agree, reverse splits have their advantage in stock headed cars because thier bigger intake durations make up for the lack of flow from the heads.

thank you!!!! reason why i went with it. ive seen some under the curves between reverse splits and some traditional splits and the reverse splits performed better. reason why the X1 and TR230 are tried and true reverse split cams, i dont know why some people dont get that.

Ive got a custom comp cam 228/230 .588/.592 112+2 cam and love it the driveability is amazing and it put down the dyno numbers in my sig keep in mind i have a GTO which is IRS and usually lays numbers that are slightly lower than a camaro or Trans AM My Dyno Numbers were 387.94rwhp/372.73rwtq. Im planning on porting my ls6 intake and adding a 85mm TB to it and going for 400 or so rwhp then heads and ud pulley and trying for 440 or so wheel. My goal a 500+ crank HP LS1 GTO that runs 11's all motor

I agree with the above....I love my reverse split, but with those heads you'd be leaving power on the table. The reverse splits have their place, just not with top of the line heads.

Becouse Gods engine (ls1) will run with anything in it. And just becouse a car dose ok with a certain cam that doesn't make it right. One of the exsamples up here was a car running 10.6 and 10.2 on the spray. It only picked up 4 tenths with a 100 shot, that doesn't seem that great to me. And you should compare the split cam with something that is spec'ed right then you'll see.

first off, im not saying reverse split cams are the best cams..of course not. i went with the reverse split cam because they seemed to make better under the curve than a traditional split cam. especially my car being a street car.
go do a search on TR230 everybody and i mean everybody that has ran that cam has loved its under the curve which is what i wanted especially for an off the shelf cam thats already a proven cam. no disappointments. ive seen more threads of guys saying they lacked under the curve performance with there traditional split than those that hated there reverse split.
