cams good afternoon. whick of these would be better in a ls3 daily driver: lingenfelter gt 11, specs @.050 215I, 231E .629I .644 E LSA118 ICL 118 LSK LOBES. OR @ .050 223I 230E .610I .617E LSA 115 ICL 112 LSL LOBES. I KNOW I LEFT OUT DETAILS JUST WANT TO SEE WHO SAYS WHAT ABOUT WHAT. THANKS
Both are pretty small, but since it's a DD, and not an all out car, go with the LSL lobes. They are much easier on your valvetrain! Truthfully though, talk to a Martin@Tick, Brian Tooley, Pat G, or Ed Curtis @ Flowtech Inductions to make sure you get a cam perfect for your needs.

Where did you come up with those?
I'd look at an EPS 222/242 114+4 using EPS lobes. I think Geoff normally sells it as a 117+4, but I think you could do it on the 114. EPS also has a more aggressive cam... 230/246 113 on EPS lobes that would drive okay and make good power.
Katech has the Torquer LS3 at 224/236 113... Don't know the ICL, but those are XE-R lobes.

Lift is a by-product of the lobe. It doesn't really tell you much. Really aggressive lobes can have lower lift and vice versa.
Duration is exactly that. The more duration you have the more overlap and power you'll experience.
LS3 likes lower overlap and wider splits int/exh. LSA is just a function of the valve events when combined with the durations.
So, the short answer is I'd go along the lines of what I posted. Something in the 222-230 range intake and 236-246 exhaust with an LSA in the 113-115 range.
