231/237 owners come in!
definitly get it tuned before you run it out...but the cam peaks @ 6300-6500 so shifting at 6800-7000 isnt out of the question just depends on how big your ***** are i guess 
fwiw my shift points will be set at like 6600 in my auto.
fwiw my shift points will be set at like 6600 in my auto. I have a couple of questions for you 231/237 guys.
1. Would I get enough out of this cam with 3.42 rear end? Another way to ask the question is, are you getting a lot of low-end torque?
2. How are you guys with 59cc heads doing with detonation. This chamber volume indicates 11:1 or more compression ratio.
3. Also, why are some of you using the 5.3 heads instead of the 5.7.
Thanks,
Tony

if i had a bigger stall I'd probably be better off...and gears would definitly help too...i had to dyno in 2nd because of them lol fwiw i had good mph #'s at the track but the car leaves pretty soft...id really recommend a 4400+ stall vert for an auto.
i have the 231/237 cam and love pulls hard all the way to 6800,
4:10 gears really make this cam pull like a mother broke pione
now im running the stock 3.42s dont fill like it pulls has harder but it still
pulls. i think it might be faster on street cause i can keep the tires from spinning so
dang much lol.
