Cam grind

Friend has a spare can I was looking to buy off him

220/226 .620/.620 114+4

Turbo 5.3
CNC 243
Th400
3000Lbs

Will this be good fit for street driving?
Did the math and it shows to have -5 overlap.

And of course will it chop?

Should be fine on the street, with just enough lope to let the riffraff know it ain't stock. Plus, the 4deg. advance will close the intake earlier giving a little more oomph off the line.
Normally you don't want much cam with a turbo, but this should be fine.

No, that's not going to chop.

But it WILL NOT sound stock.

figured this would be something a little less.

I know lift is higher but with duration being lower thought it would be suitable
how low would you go for something that will see the street more often

I think with the turbo doing most of the work, this cam will give you a little better drivability than a more ragged one.

what about
212/218 .600/.600 112 +4

with the +4 and it beign a small cam i think it wouldnt have much top end ?
Vendor has this on sale in their clearance items
i think i would retard it 2-4 degrees so it would be closer to straight up?
