I have a few other bolts ons on mine (heads, exhaust, intake, TB, CAI). It put down a best of 431.31 on a Dynojet in some good cool air, I expect during the hot summer days with high humidity I lose some of that.
Idle is choppy but I like that sound, the car does great in real world driving conditions. I have a good tune so I don't have problems with bucking or surge or idle hang. All accessories (a/c, alternator, etc.) work fine. With the mods as listed I also got 27mpg on a road trip to Texas in April.

Those are good numbers, what heads do you have?

I'm leaning towards the TSP 233 239 on a 112 LSA. From the reviews it seems like it's very streetable, makes great power and has a nice power band. Any others who have this cam, how do you like it?

update:
I found a guy selling his new custom cam specd by Patrick G with the following specs:
234/234 .601/.601 114+4 on EPS lobes (Comp Cam).
Would this need any flycutting or any modifications to anything?
It's a little bigger than what I have now but that's not an issue if it will fit with no problems.
Opinions?

If you are not milling the heads crazy amounts or anything of that nature it should clear no problem. You should double check though before you do final installation, as a last fail-safe.

No, you would clay the top of the piston, then test fit the heads with an old (compressed) gasket, lightly bolted down. Install your correct valvetrain and spin everything over. Remove the head and measure the thinnest part of the clay where the valve got close to the piston. That's your PTV clearance.

Hopefully it clears no problem and I don't have any issues.
