Auto or manual ? Stall speed ? What valve springs ? Timing set, oil pump, push rods ?
250 shot tells us you need more exhaust duration, LQ4 tells us you can handle more cam than a LS1, 9.1 to 1 tells us you need a bit tamer cam. Is it a daily driver, weekend cruiser or will it spend 20% or more of it's time on a 1/8 mile ? See, it's not a simple answer. The better you describe what you have and what you want out of it, the better someone can help.

Wonder if that EPS camshaft for LS3 engines 222/240 would be still responsive NA with the low static compression yet have that added exhaust duration to vent 750 foot pounds of nitrous fumes.

auto, 364ci, 70% street driving, 243's are getting a serious p/p job, valve springs and stall will vary on the cam, timing set will be ls2 type. I dint think the what car would matter I understand not putting the rest though, I was in a hurry so just put the bare essentials, im not sure what oil pump to run im thinking melling high pressure.

Seems like a heavy car (or truck) would like the 222 intake . I was thinking the Tick Blower cam but he doesn't need the wide LSA and needs more than 5* overlap. It sounds like someone built a motor for a Procharger and wants to run it on the bottle while they save up $ ?
