Default how does this grind sound

.600/.612, 114+4lsa. with ported 243's. should make decent power, and keep drivability halfway tolerable on a stock cube ls1, doing pistons as well.

Duration? Way more important to know than lift.

Check your PTV, especially if the heads are milled also and the type of head gasket being used.

You'll have great top-end, great driveability and not a lot of chop. Almost the same specs of my 1st cam with a 112LSA.

Not saying it won't be choppy. My choppy 110-112LSA could be diffrent from what you think choppy is. Yes a 114 have chop but like I said IMO it's not as bad.

Bama, LSA of 114 does not mean it is not VERY choppy. It is the overlap that dictates the chop intensity (not the LSA).
Overlap= ({Intake Duration +exhaust duration} /2) - 2xLSA in this case 10.5* overlap it is very choppy.

If your goal us top end you will like it....I daily drove my 04 GTO with a 238/242 .595/.595 112lsa infringe of a 4,000 stall.

My 115lsa has a pretty good chop to it....but it is a 255/271
