I run a 230-236 Comp XE-R 112 0 advance with .598 .610. All bolt on C5 with a ported FAST 90/LS2 TB setup. This is with PRC 2.5R's. SD tune by Phil at ProStreet MotorSports. I'm running 460-470RWHP and drivability is great. I've got my rev limited set at 6600.

Thanks for the info guys, I will be running this with Pacesetter Longtubes, borla exhaust, LS6 intake, poted throttle body, 4:10 gears. Oh and the car is an M6. I am lookin to make a little over 400 to the wheels. Think its possible with a good tune?

And how does this cam react with nitrous?

Definitely possible. Awesome with nitrous, because it's a wide enough traditional split, so it would respond well. I was considering that cam and ended up ordering the TRak cam, it's smaller duration (231/234 or 233/235, depending on who you listen to), but the lift is higher (.644"/.598"), easily outperforms the 230/236, and is probably one of the most well balanced cams out there. It's put down about 490rwhp with AFR's and FAST90 setups. Badass. Just make sure to get dual springs.

that would be a good cam for nitrous, I have a similar type of cam 232/234 595/598 on a 112. I made 423rwhp and 381rwtq with a excelent tune.

With a 230/236 .570/.578 114 +4 and AS stage II heads I dynoed 397/378 through 4.10's and a Yank SS4400. So far have run a 11.0 @ 120. The car has high 10's in it once I get rid of my wheelhop issue.
