Default Difference in Power between X1 and a

232/238 .595/.595 112LS Right now my X1 has an LS of 112 so that won't matter much but would it be really worth it to swap the cams out??

The X1 is a great cam, but a cam more along the lines of the G5X2 cam but not quite so much lift (Don't wanna put any dents in the pistons) is really making me want to swap cams.

What's your opionion?!

why not the TSP 231/237, .598"/.595", 112 LSA ? its 1* less on the intake/exhuast duration and just .003 more lift. proven to make great power. personally it doesnt seem worth it to me to swap out your x1 :dunno:

For NA use I think I'd stay with the X1. What's all that extra exhaust duration going to do except give you more overlap?

The car has a 100 shot on it....I haven't used it since the X1 when in....JRP has a good cam suggestion...I just want to squeeze a mush HP out of the MTI heads I have.

100 shot...yeah, that's NA on a really good day.

I think you'll gain very little simply by going with more exhaust duration when NA and when on the bottle...well, just jet it up another 10 HP.
