Default Custom grind cam has been ordered

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been looking for a cam several months now, read every thread I could. Usually hang out at Corvetteforum but a lot of them always say to go to LS1tech for a lot of technical questions. Signed up here so I could use the search function and saw that some conversations might as well been Japanese they were so in depth. The more I read the more confused I got. I wanted a mid size cam with a lot of torque low and midrange with a good lope. I've got a 01 C5 with intake, exhaust, headers and 4:10's. I sent Patrick G a pm asking what might be a good cam to fit my bill. He recommended a 228 232 588 592 110+1 on XE-R lobes. Ordered it yesterday with some PRC dual springs. Looking forward to the new power and new sound for the LS1.

That's pretty close to the cam I just ordered. A Crane 228/232 @ 112+0 that'll go on my '02 ZO6.
