Your Thoughts on a 228/232 .588/.595 110LSA +2

My goal is to significantly increase torque and power in the mid-range and reach peak power at around 6300 RPM.
The cam will be spinning under stock 853 heads and enhanced with the normal array of bolt-ons, including a ported TB, LS6 intake, Hooker LTs, 3" Mufflex Y-Pipe, cutout, and March UD pulley. The power is sent to a Moser 12-bolt housing 3.90 gears, and, occasionally, I spray a 100-150 shot.
The valve events look like this (at .006, .05, and .200, respectively)...
If my calculations are correct, my DCR should be around 8.1:1.
Any input you all have to offer would be very much appreciated. I'd hate to spend the time and money to do this swap only to discover the cam in question works horribly.
Thanks,
Josh

The lobe serial #s are:
Intake: 3724
Exhuast: 3726
Make sure you explain to them you want a 110LSA and 108ICL (if that is what you want)

Has anyone dynoed the 228/232 110 +2 cam yet?
I was just reading the AFR 205 thread and Tony Mamo @ AFR says the 112 version needs the pistons notched so I'm guessing the 110 won't work at all with those heads.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...=495344&page=2
What heads will this cam work with? I can't afford AFRs anyway, but was wondering what my choices are. When I saw that post I got worried. I'm looking at TSP PRC LS6 CNC heads and Dark 205 heads. Will those work without any clearance issus? I'm going to be stock heads for a while, but eventually want to get some heads.

I am thinking about the same cam only 110+1 and it comes out like this.
This looks good too right? Just wanted to make sure no objections before I buy. But was little concerned about 110 lsa on the street dd but if the cam gods say its cool Im all over it
IVO 5
IVC 43
EVO 47
EVC 5
ECL 111
Overlap 10

That cam will be nice on the street because the LSA will drop the power band down a few RPM's. It should be just a bit higher than stock RPM wise, with big gains in power.

very similar to mine. 228/232 but I got the intake on an lsk lobe with .639 lift, and a 112+2 to ease the low end torque on street tires (i won't run slicks) and spin a bit higher. plus a 100 shot for special moments.
