Default It's about time...231/237??

Allright so I've spent over a month on here going thought different cam options. And along the way bigged the hell out of some of the guys on the board.

I didn't want to go custom w/ my 1st cam. I wanted something off the shelf and proven for mid 11's cam only.

Here's what I narrowed it down to
f13, f14, SI5, G5X3, and ms4+4

After reading many, many, many threads I narrowed it down to the G5X3 and the SI5. With Ibanez7 and other posters about the SI5, I think I am going to go with the

SI5 231/237 589/595 lsa 112

My only question is I saw Ibanez7 is running a SI5 231/237 589/595 lsa 112+4. My question is why the +4?? Should I go with a +4. I remember when I was looking at the ms4 I was told to go with a +4. But why on the SI5, what will it do and how will it benefit me?..or does it come +4 already?

Please anyone chime in about this cam for a cam only full bolt on SS, w/ 5.3 heads down the road and maybe a small shot

Advance will help to bring the power band down a little, as well as pumping up the DCR.
