Need Patrick G's advice on cam selction
As you can see in my sig I will be running big cubes, exactly how big do the LSK lobes get. I know the XER has an upper limit. I am looking for about 75% track/25% street. No long drives, weekend car basically.

My big question with going that large is weather the time has come from a solid roller cam. The LSKs get Comps newer ramp with more lift.
However, it still has a 50° major intensity. The XE Street Rollers have a 38° major intensity and real race rollers would have a 28-32° major intensity. That is, the seat timing would go from 289°/297° to 277°/285°.
With that much cam and extra oxygen with stock deplacement, it should be able to take advantage of more revs, which would be another advantage of a solid roller. The aftermarket heads would also support a bigger OD spring to use with the solid rollers.

Why dont you go with Cartek 3x cam for now. then do the Cartek 3x heads next season. with full bolt ons, that package delivered 503rwhp and youll run 10s all day long. optimum power under the curve is there! still very streetable too.
where would you have to rev to get the best power from this cam?
also patrick, what are you revving to with your 224/228 cam?
