Default Guys here is a custom cam for my setup

What do you think? I would really like an examination from Patrick G here. It is supposed to be "friendly" on the bottle.

What size motor is this for? I hope not a 346 unless it's 12 or 13:1 compression, because a 239/250 114LSA cam has way too late of an intake valve closing point to build good dynamic compression and its valve events won't work out well with a FAST or LS6 manifold. If it's for a bigger motor, then that's a different story.

So the Fast intake is a stumbling block here?

The tuned runner length and cross-sectional area of the FAST intake will try to force a power peak around 6300 rpm. The latest intake valve closing point you can go with before you start working against the intake is 47-48 degrees ABDC at .050 with a 370 ci motor. Any IVC after that is going to make you lose more power in the mid-range than you'll gain above 6300.

Your dynamic compression is going to be really low with such a late IVC. I would recommend narrowing the LSA to at least 112 to get your IVC more in line with where it needs to be.

It's too late this time. The cam is already in the car. I am building another motor before spring. I will post some results this week. I would like to go to the dyno, but I am definitely going to the track.
