That would be my grind,

The most popular variations are:

230/230 .615/.592 111+2 LSA (on stock motor)
230/228 .615/.588 110-1 LSA (does better in Vettes)

I'm making 410hp/390tq with this cam and supporting mods, the TQ curve is very smooth and has a nice "table top" quality to it. Has a nice lope to it too.

Pred, that 230/228 is the same cam that RMTT is running correct? That cam make big power for being a reverse split. Made great power stock heads and insane power with heads.

Yeah, witha good set of 59cc Cartek 243s 4X, he made 465rwhp and 427rwtq.
400rwtq @ 3500rpm

Neither guy you are addressing has been around here for many years. The thread is 11 years old.
Which cam spec are you referring to?
Don't use names when referring to a cam. Always use duration, lift, and LSA (lobe separation angle). That way anyone can know of which you are referring to.

I would consider redoing the EL TORO CAM using more modern tech TSP Lobes and do 230-230, 629-615 LIFT, on same 111+2 LSA.

Or consider Kentucky Speed's All ***** Cam at 231-238, 629-615, 111+4...
