new cam performance questions
Hello,
I was offered a really good deal on a new cam for my C5 So I decided to go ahead and buy and figured worst case, I can at least sell if for what I paid.
I wanted to ask a speculation on how it will perform to see if I am going to keep it or not.
it is going into a C5 (243 heads, long tubes, LS6 intake)
specs are 232/240 .580/.580 113 LSA.
I want something that is going to sound like it has a cam in it but not shake my fillings out.
what does everyone think I should expect out of this cam with those heads.
Thanks

I am going to be taking the car to antivenom in Tampa for tuning. I have read many times that the G5X2 is a good daily driver cam but has a bit more lift than this one. Any speculation on the around town driving manners of this cam once it is tuned?
Thanks
Thanks

sweet thanks, I wasnt planning on doing anything to the heads other than having advanced induction do their performance rebuild and mill some off for a compression bump. With that low of lift I dont think PTV clearance should be an issue even with the longer duration. The cam was too good of a deal to pass up and I originally thought it was the g5X2 because of the duration not noticing the lift was different. It is going to either be tuned by antivenom or efi alchemy in FL. any recommendation on which of those would do a better job.

I have a 230/238 on a 113 but it has 2* advance ground in with some marginally worked 799 (same as your 243).
I tuned it myself (first car I've tuned). SS3600 converter and 3.42 gear in a car with a street weight of 3800#s. Excellent manners and only gets stubborn on sub 32* days until it gets some heat in it.
It has excellent throttle response and runs/drives better over the entire power band over my old 230/224 (which TR advertises as a 224 with extra kick).
