Default Ordering New Cam what advance should i run

Alright guys i decided im going to run a 231/237 .595/.605 on a 112 lsa in my 99 SS. My next question is, what advance do i get ground into it or if i even need too. Im not going to be spraying it right now, maybe some time later down the road. Patrick G here on the boards said i should run it 112+4, so i just wanted to get some other opinions, since im kinda flying blind here. SO if anyone can help i appreciate it alot. Thanks alot

Really? His other thread goes completly against adding advance. Seems like that would make the cam extremley exaust biast relative to TDC. I'm not sure which lobe that cam is ground on, but if it is the same lobes that it used to be ground on, the extremley lazy lobes will put the IVC around 49 degrees, which is less than optimum per his other thread. What compression do you plan to run?
