Cam gurus inside Thinking about a custom grind, kinda a combo/derivitive of the TR236 and TRak cam.
Something along the lines of 236/230 .630-.640/.590ish. Just wondering how this would run with an A4, 4k stall, 3.73's, full bolt ons, Fast 90/90, and eventually maybe some TFS heads milled for at least 11.1 compression.
Whatcha think?

original post was a reverse split, as I was thinking about trying something different. Seems everyone nowadays is set on a traditional split. From what I've seen the reverses like the TR236, MTI (X1?), etc. have usually produced good numbers due to the LSx motors being intake restricted. Any opinions on a custom reverse split that will clear stock heads and still make nice power/

Yes it will due to the lsk intake lobe.
Regarding the reverse split, this is my personal views;

That was actually the thread that got me thinking about getting a reverse split a few weeks ago.
The cam you spec'd out above, who would you recommend I contact about grinding it for me? I was thinking TR--->

According to Comp's web site, all the LS1 cams listed are $473.44. Speed Engineering has the best prices for custom cams that I have found. PM them if your in the market. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Peak HP will be slightly less than MS4
