That is a XFI 230/230

This cam is tried and a good one. I have the same grind (El Torro),
230/230 .612/.592 111+2 LSA XFI/X-R and it has gone into the 10's on
Chrs1313 car.

I'm sure you'll like what Patrick gave you. My advice is degree it, 7.450 p-rods cam only (at least 7.425s) and PP Gold duals.

not to hijack, but how does lift affect low idle and low rpm. say .600 or .605 lift on intake and exhaust, on a 115+2 and say you are idling and then load the motor from a dead stop to start going say from a light or a slight hill, wouldn't the car have more of a tendency to stall? and wouldn't you have to give it more gas to get it going because of that?

Nope, I use XE-R on no split cams, he prefers XFI.
The reason I do what I do is because at .200lifts, the cam is actualy a reverse split and puts out more trq in midrange.

If I go like 230/236, then I start using XFI/XFI

My cam just came in and I have a few questions






Now what is the difference between both specs......I would imagine the first one was for the grinder and the secone on the cam card spec are the actual specs after going through the cam doctor?






there is what appears to be a dab of blue paint on the cam as you can see in the picture and in the second picture there is white paint marks....are they normal markings and should i clean them off before installation?

ok then 233/233 is alot better from a 232/232...make sure you degree it too, it is worth learning and piece of mind...

i am trying to remember i know it did have some paint on it, i dont think as much as yours does though...i would just take it off if it is bothering you...use a non abrasive pad...other wise i would just throw it in and let it wear off naturally...

i would probably take it off i am kind of a perfectionist haha...i made sure the tops of my pistons were clean enough to eat off of lol
