no i don't know the lobes. I did some more looking around and this cam seems more of a upper end cam on the RPM.

I used to run a cam that size duration, with less lift in a 327. Solid lift also with 210cc runner heads. Streetable, yes with high compression, but like 5w20 said, loss of low end. Thing felt like a 2 stroke bike though powerband wise, 3500 rpms it would pull like a ****.

I was the first GTO that HPE installed this cam in, and it is an LS1. There is no loss of low end! I would make sure your PTV clearance is enough with the new AFR. I went with Patriot LS6 Stage II 59cc heads with welded chambers because they maintained stock head tolerances. This is a comp cam and it peaks at 6350rpm on my setup.

You should be pretty close to the numbers in my sig with that setup, only difference is our heads.

The cam is too big for what you're after...You WILL lose low end while puttign around town. Even @ WOT the car is going to feel like a dog until about 4-4.5k RPMS unless you're running 4.10 gears or better.

I have in mind a Comp XE-R grind 228/230 LSA 114 or a 112. Or a 232/238 Lunati Voodoo. I have 3.73's in the car and 4.10's in the box new.

Wow, I didn't know my car feels like a dog around town. If I punch it I am gone, there is no loss of torque no lag! You act like it is a huge turbo that takes time to spool.

But then lose some due to the larger valves.

There is not going to be that much loss... My MS4 didnt have that much loss of low end, in fact from 2800-6800 it yanks hard.
