The reason I didn't want em milled anymore is the combination of us only having 91 octane in Arizona coupled with the insanely intense summers. That is why I went with a lower 10.8:1 compression ratio versus Chris's 11.3:1.
The extra half point might be worth maybe 10rwhp/10rwtq. I'm sure most will agree that given my circumstances in Arizona, I made the right choice.
If we ever get 93 octane again in Arizona, you can be damn sure I'm gonna throw some thinner head gaskets on there. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: What is the best HP and Torque cam for a H & C 346 LS1? Verbs the shortbelt has always been worht less the 3rwhp on my car and others I have seen.
My car made 445whp/410rwtq with GTP 5.3L heads and the TR230 cam. Through the exhaust it did 442rwhp/405rwtq through the exhaust. This is with a 12bolt(4.10), billet steel fw/iron cluch, carbon fiber driveshaft, and 17" chrome vette wheels.
