That's a very small difference for so much work lol. I'd opt for something a little bigger or not do it all

I hear ya man, and even though there is more to a cam than just the obvious specs (lobes, ramp rates, ICL, etc...) I still think you would be dissapointed after all that time, money, and labor. Why do you want to swap if I may ask? What about your current cam don't you like?

Very little. I have a 228/ 230 on a 112 and my friend has a 238/24x on a 112. Both have stock blocks and same heads. They run the same times at the track.

well first off, stock gear, lArge converter equals one thing .."heat" no bueno.. Goto a 3.73 in back, what converter you running? Let's dissect your combo, cause something's a miss, and we gonna figure it out...
