Why not go with something tried and tested with good feedback? Unless you can get a good deal on the SLP cam, that is ...

because nothing ever gets tried and tested unless someone tries and tests it Who knows it could be a killer street cam.

I would find out the LSA, but it sounds like a good cam.

I talked to one of the reps from Katech at a car show a few months back and he recommended a 224/228 split cam for good midrange power. He said the longer duration on the exhaust side is necessary due to the smaller exhaust valve. Obviously the high lift can help make big numbers and the 113 LSA is probably a bit of a compromise, but should give a decent idle and be relatively easy to tune. I'd say go for it!
