.229/236 .624"/615" on a 111 lsa is the cam i'm looking at now. i was lookin at somethin close to a 233/239 but goin a little smaller would be beneficial i think. my heads are absolute speed stage II's and i'll list the flow numbers for them. how do yall think this cam will handle nitrous and also is that amount of lift ok? this is a daily driven s/s car.

IMO if you go any bigger than a .575 .580ish your gonna lose low end torque imo it would be best to find a medium my upgrades and numbers are with a stock ls1 intake and t/b.I havent had a chance to get back to the dyno yet to see the new numbers.I think that would be a very good cam for the bottle but not a good daily driver because of the lift and lsa you will probably experience a little more rock at low rpm,although thats just my opinion.Good luck

well a rough idle is fine with me as i'm m6 so there's no problems there. but i've seen a ton of people dd'ing cams with higher lift that that. but...i have 4.10 gears goin in with my nine inch so i'll be gettin to a higher power band faster. i'm just not sure about the lift..

Lift has very little to do with driveability dude, the duration/LSA is what makes the car "less streetable" and shake at idle. The LS7 camshaft STOCK has almost .600 and idles perfectly smooth, for example.
As long as you put a set of kickass valve springs on it, I say it would be fine.
With that much lift, milling the heads for a compression increase IS NOT in your future, lol.
It will be fine on N20.
