That cam is TAME man. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
Go at least 230/230 on 111/112LSA and XE-R lobes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
That cam on XE-R lobes idles great at 975 and makes MAD power.
If you can get it to fit I would even go bigger. (232/232 on 111LSA .6XX lift)
Good luck with it.
Cheers,
Chris

Re: Sold T1 Cam...now need input on this gnarly cam
What do you mean by "fit" Chris? Who sells those cams? And I still like to drive my car around sometimes, will it drive like crap at part throttle?
I am starting with virgin LS1 heads, so I don't have to mill them much if I don't want to.
Also, if you have other cam suggestions, tell me whether my 918 springs will work, or what I will need. I can prolly sell the 918s with the T1.
Thanks!

What's the goal?
What heads are you using?
H/C, assuming that cam has the newer fast ramps I'd say low 11's at around 121 with your transbraked car.

Re: Sold T1 Cam...now need input on this gnarly cam
chris my cam is a 230/230 111 LSA and i have some idle surge issues. did you have the same? did you have to raise the idle or did you just like the way it idled up there? that is considerably higher than stock M6 idle.

Goal is max NA performance, but also good N2O performance and stay under .600 lift so I can use my current springs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Heads will be TEA Stage 2 LS1 heads
Got rid of my 12-bolt, so the t-brake is on the bench for now. Plan on foot-braking for a while with the 2-step.

Re: Sold T1 Cam...now need input on this gnarly cam
In general I have not seen any data that supports the idea of going more than 230 duration for a stock bottom end setup. While I have seen folks go with more duration, I have not seen those cars run faster at the track.
So, I like any cam that's in the 226, to say... up to 230 duration range for strongest NA performance.
I've seen some nice ET's out of 224/228//112 Comp cams too.
I say set up the car 80% for NA, and 20% for NOS.
