I've run 150-200 shots on TR 230/224 111LSA reverse split cams and gained as much power on the spray as guys running the same size shots on 114LSA cams with large forward splits. Again, choose your cam on your NA goals and spray when you need a little bit more.
Are you saying it's perfectly safe to spray a 200 shot on a stock bottom end 346 LS1 with a reverse split cam?

You want a progressive controller or dual stage for that kind of hit.

It'll increase cylinder pressure, make more power, but will NOT prolong the life of the motor.
