As it has been reiterated, it all depends on how much driveability your willing to give up to reach your specific goals. The T-rex cam is a Max effort cam and are going to give up a lot of driveability. Just my .02c

I would say it's too big. I have a 236/240 112lsa cam with a great street tune. Still there is just enough bucking and surging to make me not want to go any larger then this for a daily driver.
