I ran a 236/240//111 in 2000 in a 346ci and it was neat.

Stop speculating and get this cam in the car and the beast on the dyno! 
I'd love to hear the results. On a side note, I just read about some Patriots that have no milling but a 59cc chamber.. something to think about with a large cam. Good Luck!

I completely agree with your lift theory. I dont think over .560 on a hyd cammed LSx gains much. Sounds like a cool setup. I dont think you will gain much by going with the 109 over a 112, but damn it will sound cool .

Verdad Gallardo Track/Dyno.. either or Should sound and run mean. I'm running a 240/246 110lsa in my 1984 z28 pushin a t-56 idling around 950rpm. Different animal completely than an LS1, but it pulls hard from 2500 all the way to shift point at 6700-6800rpm. Me thinks if you can get tuning worked out, you are going to love this cam. Keep us posted.
Good Luck,

If it doesn't work out well, I'll stick a different one in. No big deal.

I'll be putting your motor back in Saturday. Dyno #s coming that evening or first thing Monday. You know, I could take it to the track Wednesday if you want.

probably will scrap this idea now since the NHRA so nicely has decided to change the T-top rule for 04. Don't want to make the car run faster than 11.0 since I'm NOT going to put a jungle gym in the T/A

The NHRA cage rule actually applies to 11.99 and faster doesn't it? I beleive the IHRA is 11.49 and faster. 10.50s shouldn't creat any more NHRA compliance issues than you have now. I would invest in a cage any how. We have on in the wifes daily driver SS and with removable swing out bars, you don't even know it's there other than a slight weight addition. Don't give up yet

no...car has a rollbar thats right now legal to 10.00. But with that gay-*** new rule...it'll only be legal to 11.00 come Jan 1 2004.
All this because its a T-top car

I agree it's gay Brian..but make a car that will do 11.0's when you let off at the end and not one that takes it ***** out.
