Default 230/230 .578 114lsa -> 230/224 110lsa...what are the possible gains?

I am thinking about trying this new cam in my LS6'd corvette I have big valves and all the necessary hardware. What kind of gains should I see on this cam down low and up top? Would it be worth it?

The power band would lower some, and the idle would be more choppy. Other than that you won't see much differece. Power levels will be about the same....

Do you have the 230/230 114 now? If yes, at what rpm do peak HP & TQ occur at?

I dont think you'll gain any peak rwhp from that swap.

I am really looking to gain useable torque and HP. Right now the dyno graph is flat on tq below 3500 but once it hits 3400-3500 it gains quickly and has a nice arch. The torque curve isnt as wide as lets say a 224 but when it comes on it comes on alot faster rather than a smooth curve. The HP graph is fairly conisistent with the other cams.
