Question Cam Question

Will a 232/234 .595/.598 112 cam be a little to much for a semi daily driver? Any opinons are welcomed.

Should work fine! Not a very big cam by today's standards, sort of "middle of the road".

Should be fine to use as daily driver, just make sure you get a good tune.

Well, I fired it up today!!!
All I can say is WOOOW, that thing lopes pretty good even for a 113 lsa.
I found idle within 6 minutes of running. 850 it is.
I let warm up, reved till 4000 a few times, valvetrain didn't take long to settle.
I used 7.425 p-rods. Sounds the same as my Stealth 2 (light ticking).
Stoich was fine at 14.7/14.8. Decided to take it for a spin.
I could feel trq was comming on later, but when it did, watch out. Still have to fine tune a little but this thing is exactly what the PRC 2.5 needed.
I came home, checked the rockers and retightened but none seemed loose (TDC method works well). Double checked everything and if I didn't have to travel in the morning, I would head out to the track.
Initial G-Tech PRO gave me 462 rwhp locked. That is another 33 rwhp over the Stealth, with cats (comming out soon) and tune is conservative for nitrous.
Some fine tuning will follow.
The graph doesn't even dip at 6600 rpm , I think Ragtop99 was right, this thing can spin till 7000, Nooo problem.
I like it!
