its very hard to decide. So many good cams out there.
A friend of mine speced a reverse split cam for another friend...it was something like a 229/226 high .58x's lift 112 ls1 -1
and he ran it cam only and is trapping 119 with it n/a, and 128 on a 125 shot! Makes me want him to grind me something similar...lol

Good choice of parts....but no offense...........your install work needs much improvement!! I mean for christ sake, you installed the stuff and left most of it in the damn box!!
The brakes and clutch are no where near where they should be! 
I do like the side exit exhaust that you did with the header though!!!

You'll have to elaborate.A reverse split can effectively give you more power with better drivability over any other grind. The intake valve closes later (more rev potential = more power), and you'll have less over lap than even a single pattern (assuming LSA is constant) If you're opening the exhaust valve later (smaller exhaust lobe), then you're developing more useful work&power out of the expansion of your exhaust gases = higher retained gas mileage.
Lastly, if it's the LSx intakes restricting us- cater to it in your camshaft. GenIIIs have great exhaust ports. Team that up with 1.75" tubes and a cutout and exhaust restriction is minimized while flow is optimized.
So, what's your justificition? Is this a blanket statement/rephrase?
Have you read posts documenting the success of non-traditional, reverse splits?
I agree, for large shots of nitrous that a traditiona split would be better, but do not agree for a street driven machine.

I cant remember the last time I saw a high hp..big cube stroker/all bore/solid roller.....or forced inducted LS1 that had a reverse split cam.
I am by no means a cam or engine guru...but why is this?
I just see all these intakes, high flow intake ports on these new heads, hogged out throttle bodies........i just dont see the huge bottleneck with air intake anymore.
I guess it comes down to personal preference. How much power I want to make, where I want to make it, and how long do I want to make it........and how much driveability do I want to have in the meanwhile.
