Default need everybody's opinion!

ive been trying to decide on a cam but i just cant do it! i have a 02 ls1 with a 6-speed......what i want from the cam is a nasty sound very lopey but also very good power want over 400 at the wheels. i may also be doing a set of ported 241 heads. this is also pretty much a DD (when its nice out). ive been starting to lean towards a custom ground.......tell me what you think.

Predator-X cam
231/240 .643/.608 112+4 LSA

It will make over 400 easily on M6 while being totaly DD friendly.

If you decide on the TSP 233/239 v2 I have a new/unused one that I am willing to part with for a substantial discount. It's even been CAMPRO'd by Thunder Racing! PM me if interested!

Why does the lift scare you?

LSK lobes are easier off the seat at .006 but a bit steeper at .200 lifts, that is all.
TV3, MS4 and many others are using LSK lobe on intakes.

With the right spring, there is nothing to be affraid, or thinking more damage would result than a .600 lift |XE-R|

I already did.
A MS3 with over .600 lifts is not more harmfull than a MS4 with .640+ lifts.
It is just a matter to use the proper valvetrain for the spec requirements of the cam.

I was going to recommend the 233/239. I think you will like it. Good duration and not too extreme on the lift. It's a good combination.
