My vote is for the GX2 cam from LGM on a 112lsa with specs of 232/240, .600 lift, 112 lsa, for some SERIOUS POWER and LOPE!!

heed my sig.

if you just want some lope and sound get a cam on a 110 or lower lsa or drop your idle a few hundred rpm. no need to stuff a huge *** cam for big power and sound and you dont need 10k hp to run 11's. the proper setup goes along way.

T rex cam made by thunder racing and a pair of any ceramic coated long tubes would sound nice and lopey.

talk to a sponser for your specific needs. powerband and combo in the driveline are the most important. otherwise, it is an opinion issue.

Our M2 cam is the cam only record holder, running 10's in Roger Whites Vette with nothing more than bolt ons (stock internals). I have a special going on right now for them, 1399 (+100 for Vettes) installed and tuned. It's 228/234 on a 110 lsa and .607/.591 lift.


Later,
Chuck
