That does sound like a good cam. I think I might seriously go with something like that. When i get the time/money I might have one carved up like that. What spring/pushrod setup would you go with?

PREDATOR-Z, how would the Vinci 049 cam 228/232 .600 /.600 OVERLAP 68*
LSA 112* Compare to the cam that you recommended (228/232, .588/.595 110+4 (Comp XE-R) custom grind)? I know it uses a different lobe and the LSA is different, but this cam would work with my VHP tuner. I think i posted a thread about this cam a while ago, but im not sure if you replied to it or not. Id like your input on this cam for me. Its extra appealing to me because its designed to work with my tuner.

I Don't have a very good knowledge of many of the different cams out there. I am still fairly new to most of this. However I have a Comp 232/236 595/601 on a 112+2 XE-R in my car. I have had it in for about 7,000 miles. I really like the cam so far. It is very streetable. My car is a DD. The Idle quality is good. I think it would be better if I had a better tuner working on it. My car made 410 RWHP and 390 torque on a dynojet. I will have to wait and see how long my patriot dual valve springs last with this cam.

I have a 02 Firehawk with a lid k&n filter, underdrive pulley and a TCI SSF 3500, LT's and ory, stock ls6 intake. At the time I dyno'd I had stock heads. Now I have ported ls6 heads with stock valves. I dyno'd on a dynojet this summer.

Verdad Gallardo I am saving money to have a different person tune my car for the heads. The last tune I got made good power on the dyno, but he didn't do much for the issues with the torque converter and the idle was not good after the tune. I had to have a friend of mine help me work out the idling problems.

I have the 232/234 XER cam on a 112+4 grind and I love it. I don't daily drive it but I certainly could. I run the patriot gold double springs and they do the trick. I don't know how many miles you drive a year but I don't see why at least 10-15k would be a problem. After that I'd check the springs every so often and see how they're doing. Here's the thread with my dyno numbers.

Isnt it nice to have people who have used many cams, and actually know what they're talking about when they recommend a custom grind? I never would have thought about something like 110+4 LSA. Havent seen it offered on the shelf, so didnt think to ask. I hope that your cam does good. When I get the $ I plan on having one carved up and shoving it into mine.

If so then why not just get it on a 110?

Also our intake design is part of the idle problems we face. Slip on a ITB setup and hear a 24x cam on a 106 LSA. Purrs like a 224
