If you had to chose one which one and why? What would be the difference between the two? I know there are a few running the cams on here so chime in and tell me your likes and dislikes if there are any.

I have a smaller cam than both of those 226/234 from EPS and it is a great cam. The tricky part is if your car is an automatic, the streetability tuning is pretty difficult. Originally tuned it was terrible, dying and surging. Now that Pat G tuned the car its so smooth and all the problems went away. If you notice on the EPS website that most of their cams clearly state, Extensive Computer Tuning Needed. If you want something that is going to be easier to tune get a cam that doesnt have as much overlap or have Pat G spec you a cam on the same EPS lobes that will be easier to tune.

If I had to pick from the two I'd go with the 230/238.....give the exhaust more time to escape and start pulling in intake air/fuel a little more

A buddy of mine put the 230 238 in a c5 z06. Cam only it put down 428rwhp 400rwtq.

LSA will make a difference too. What are you considering? I think 8 deg. overlap is about perfect for the street with a good tune. That would be 230/234-112 or 230/238-113.

It depends on how well the heads and exhaust flow, if you have a really good flowing heads and exhaust then I'd consider a 230/230, or 230/232. Now if your heads/exhaust flow isn't that great, or you plan on spraying "man sauce" on a regular basis then go with the 230/238.

lsa 112 is what I was thinking. Stock heads for now with LT, 3" true duels dumped with a six speed. I was just looking to see if anyone has drove or went for a ride in both cam sizes. What's the difference in power?

I have the 230/238 113+2

I love it and can't say enough good things about it. Great from the bottom all the way to my 6600RPM shift points.

I tuned it myself and it was my first full tune. If I can make this thing drive as good as I have a "pro" can make it like stock I'm sure.

Spot on. The split really depends on how good the exhaust port on the head is. The better the exh, the less the split.

I have the 230/234 on a 112+4 LSA. I have not riden in or driven another cammed LS1 car, but it sounds nice and pulls good. Mine makes peak power around the 6200-6300 range. I shift mine at around 6500. It runs well at the track, no complaints from me.
