Default TSP 231/237 .598/ .595 cam?

Has anyone dynoed or run there car with this cam at the track? What would be the max that can be shaved off of a set of stage 2 ported heads?

i wouldn't shave anything off if i was going with that cam. the G5X2 is just about the same size and it comes real close with stock heads.

I almost went with that cam... but the lift numbers were kinda scary. Being as I may want to shave the heads eventually, I went with a custom grind 232/236 .585/.585 113LSA on an XE-R lobe from Speed Inc. They matched (better) the price on the cam / spring / pushrod package as well vs TSP.

That seems a little bit low to me. Where the heads stage 2 ported? Did he have all of the boltons?

If I remember right the heads were stage 1, not sure about the bolt ons.

Do those high of intake durations fit a head milled .015 (stage 2 valves)? I have been considering a 228/236-.571/.602-112(+4) XER lobe design for some time but am waiting to see what is working with the big cams...for once.. I have decided if I go that route I will swap out the lifters. I am very satisfied with my current stick...TR224/114...but thought it would be a good winter project. With the lifts you are using I don't think that swap would be necessary. I originally wanted to stay in the 580 lift range but did not know it was possible with an aggressive lobe. This is good news! Can't wait to see your results!
Later.

I just got mine the other day. I'll post results after I install it in a few weeks. I'm hoping it will put me in the low 10s on the bottle, but we'll see.
