240/240 112 cam going in what to expect?? I'm helping my cuz put a 240/240 550/550 112 cam in his M6 Z28 this weekend. How do yall think this ***** is going to idle and what should his shift pounts be. Cam sounds real big on the dur. side to me but he said we are going for it. His car is stock except a lid, cutout and spec III clutch. Any predictions???!!!!

Do you guys have someone lined up to do some serious LS1edit to the car or is he going to try to run it with the stock program?

The headers and exhaust will make a LOAD of difference with that cam. What is the ICL of the cam? If it is a "straight up" cam, you are really going to have to spin the motor. My 231/237 112lsa has 2 degrees of advance, making it a 110icl and I shift mine at 6,700 at the track and 6500 on the street. Ed will have his work cut out for him making it daily drive good. I'm anxious to see how it turns out for you.

Yep, advancing that bad boy 4* will bring the peak power down some.. but I would REALLY check my P/V clearance then.

That's what had me worried when I first read this.

I personally would not even try to get Ed Wright to tune that thing unless it was right in front of him. Go with someone who can put a load on it. I am flirting with the idea of a high duration cm with lower lift numbers myself. But mine is a H/C with exhaust. I see no reason to run a .600 lift cam when your flow numbers are like 306 @ .550 lift 
Let us know hot it turns out.

That thing isn't going to idle... Especially with a mail order tune...
Stock heads and exhaust manifolds to boot. Let us know what the pistons and valves look like after he tries to start it for the first time...

i think it is insane but try it out and tell us what you find out. not long ago people told me that 230/230 on a 111 lsa wouldnt idle on a stock headed auto car. i would NOT do mail order tune, esp with so many good tuners in tx.
I used to run a solid lifter 270/270 in a 389 cube engine. I think you will need to set the idle at about 1250 rpm, and it will peak at over 7000 rpm unless you advance it a few degrees. Better order an adjustable timing set and some ARP rod bolts right now! You will likely see the need for some 4.56 rear end gears also, it's going to be pretty lazy at anything below 3000 rpm.
