Cam opinion What do y'all think of this cam?
Duration (intake/exaust) 228/231
Lift (intake/exaust) .574/.592
Lobe Center Separation 113
Intake Centerline 110
This would go on my 01 Formula with all bolt-ons (Hooker LT's, Katech TB, ASP pulley, etc...) M6, 12 bolt with 4.30's.
I currently have a Comp XER 228/224-.588"/.581"-112
Would I see any significant gain from this cam and where would the gain be? I'm loooking for more low end torque/ overall hp.
I don't know exactly how the cam events would change performance compared to what I currently have.
I also plan on a set of Stg II heads in the very near future.
One more thing- why is it the reverse/ straight/ standard grind cams ALL work so well in N/A LS1's? I've never seen a significant difference between the different styles of cams. From what I've seen, a 228/224, 224/224, and 224/228 all seem to make about the same power on our cars (naturally aspirated of course). What is the optimum grind for our cars N/A?
Would I have anything to gain by putting the longer duration on the intake side? what would the difference be compared to a straight or split?
