this is a big cam for a stock cube ls1 , lq4/9 , ls2 and ls3 ... might need flycutting the stock pistons to fit
duration in the 240`s are considered big and the upper 230`s on a stock cube.

Hell yea it is. You can make anything work. But will it survive or hold up. That's the question you need to ask yourself. An that being ssid I hope you have all supporting mods.

Well I just wanted to see bigger numbers thats all i have a TR230 now and just wanted to see what I could get out of this cam, I was told this was a Trex v2 cam and the specs on the posting(bought from here)had the specs of their web site. So i call thunder racing ..give them the serial number and they tell me the REAL specs of the cam. So Im screwed??
your not screwed.... it's a huge cam thats all. The Trex is a proven performer as well

Performance comes not just from a cam, it is a combination of supporting mods.
Heads ported, CNC, and milled to cam spec will make a hell of a difference.
Intake Vararam VRB2 great for taking time up to 3 tenths off you 1/4 mile time
Exhaust, people get caught up on primary numbers which do make a difference but your collector (3") usually best for higher hp street cars.
Tune TUne TUNe TUNE
Fuel, injectors/rails/pump that support your HP mark
Transmission, remember that you will always see higher numbers through an M6 than an A4 don't get caught up too much on numbers but how they transfer through your drive train and into numbers on the 1/4 mile
Manifold, if your on a budget an LS6 stock is great an LS2 only ported is worth your time if money is not an option a FAST will make really good HP for you.
Realistically research set a goal of what you want to do and see what it takes to get there. Many times we set goals that are not attainable with what we have and what it takes to get there might be out of reach ($) at this moment in time.
good luck
