Default Eps 222/226 ?

So I am getting ready to do a cam install in January getting everything together and just wanted to see what the average gains are with the EPS 222/226 113 LSA cam w/tune (Hoping to get low 12s high 11s). I have gone through all the threads and done the research just want to see what everyones expierience with this cam has been. Throwing in an LS2 chain, Melling pump, Pushrods, and BTR springs with a powerbond 25% UDP with it.

Ya I seen that build and have really been thinking about doing the 115 LSA, sounds really smooth at idle.

you would be surprised how well a small cam will run with a good set of heads, ported fast, and a free flowing exhaust. Tony Mamo made 475whp years ago with a 224/228 cam. I think his car went 11.4 @ 124 M6 C5 H/C/I.

There's a guy around here making 432/425 to the wheels with this cam on a 114LSA in an LS6. Runs low 11's in the 120's through a 6 speed in an LT F body.

I will be happy to crack 11s. Seems like EPS cams make great power, now I just need to save up and ditch my Ls6 intake for a FAST 92.

EPS is local to me, that said alot of guys are running Geoff's cams

Everyone that i know of was beyond satisfied with the results, including me.
For a "smaller" cam they are damn impressive.
I run his 224/230 in a 5.3.

I cant tell you how that particular cam will respond in your particular setup but im sure it will be all you are expecting if not more.

You will get a ton of people telling you that they gained a million HP with the FAST.
Ask one of them how much better at the track did they do after installing the FAST. I bet you'll get no straight forward replies. You'll hear that they haven't got back to the track after they installed the FAST. But try it, you never know.
