Default Isky cams

Haven't heard many people running Isky cams on LS engines? Are they any good? I was thinking of running a custom grind from them, does anyone have an opinion on them or experience? Thanks

Isky has been around FOREVER.... don't know if LS stuff is their best.

Thats kind of what I want to do. I guess the price is right (sponsor), and I just want to give it a shot. They're local and feel like giving someone else other than comp some business and credit .

It seems that recently the limits of beehive springs have been getting pushed
w/.600-.620" cams. If your cam ends up in this range perhaps consider some
duals. Also the single most important valve event after deciding on the
duration for your app., is the Intake closing point. The sweet spot for an LS
is between 43-45 degrees after BDC.

Thanks for the advice, I'm running dual springs good for .650 lift on my trickflow 215s. I'm about to call isky and talk to there tech department and check on that info.
