You really need to get with knowledgeable people like Shane from Thunder or let Patrick G spec you a cam you will be happier with the end result IMHO!

How about a 260/270 on a 110LSA with a 650 lift and the fast ramping lobes. Would that work or should I adjust it? Advance 4 degrees?
Why dont you just ask Patrick G to spec you out a good cam for your setup, if you arent knowledgable to do so yourself.. Its worth it.
