I have the EPS 226/234 with 110LSA. In my car it runs better on a 108 ICL than on 110. It is a strong cam. Power everywhere from 3000 to 6500 in my car. My car will go 11.40s at 3700+ lbs with a small 2800 converter. If I were to do it over, I would probably go with a 230/234, but my car is a toy not a daily driver.

My car is a street car. How is the power from 1000rpm to 3000rpm
Is it a slug off the line because it only start to make power after 3000.
Would this can still be okay for a street car?

what would be a good street cam from 2000 to 6000. if i put a 410 gear in it will that compansate for more power bettween 2000 and 3000 rpm.

222/226 would be good for 2000-6000 depending on the icl

I would expect you to be fine. My 230/238 makes killer torque from idle, granted the stall adds to that but it has more bottom end than it did back when I had a smaller cam.

My old cam was an EPS 226/238 on a 111lsa... With the 6spd & 4.10's, it pulled from idle to the 6800 rev limiter pretty nicely.. It's great street cam, you'll be happy.

I love mine. Tons of torque all over the board. Driveability is awesome too. With the 4.10's, it pulls like a rocket. What valve springs are you going to run? I rec the Pac 1518's.
