Question Opinions wanted!
So I am pretty close to having all my parts installed and I am having second thoughts about the camshaft choice (too small maybe?) So LS1Tech, help me decide! and tell me why you chose what you did.

The two camshafts are:

EPS - 226/230 .598”/.600” 113LSA +4 advance
??? - mid 230's/mid 240's same lift 112LSA +4 advance

The supporting mods are:
FTP 98mm lid, 85mm MAF, FAST 90/90, AFR 205 heads, kooks 1 3/4 LTs, 3600 stall, rossler T3 4l60e, 3.42 gear

This is plenty, especially with your stall.

What are your goals? Why a EPS cam other than everyone has one?

Well, I already have the EPS cam. It was spec'd for me by Pat G. My goal is something close to 11.5 second 1/4 mile. I'm afraid it might be too small to accomplish that on the motor alone with a stock bottom end and the mods listed above.

I think if you can get it to hook you could get close or achieve your goal. You have good supporting mods so now it's about putting the power to the ground.
