4xx motor/TSP Cam Concerns/Advice needed.

No I think this cam would work pretty well for an aggressive street/strip car. It just seemed like a lot of people in the thread were worried that it was too large for the street, which I do not agree with, especially for the setup it was specced for.

We ran into an issue in regards to the car torquing over and the fender wells cutting my Hoosiers. So we installed the anti-roll bar and coil overs over the weekend.
Today was the first time I've driven the car with the car hooking up and actually going straight...
All I can say is holy... ****.. I've the car is an absolute raped ape, and on a 2.73 rear end gear! We have the rev limiter set at 6500 for the moment (for break in purposes), but this has to honestly be the fastest car I have ever driven or ridden in. My TH350 in unfortunately trashed, but I've bought a built powerglide, and will be installing 4.10s with spool and axles over the next two weeks, so track results soon.
If the car pulls like this, I would say that I am a happy TSP customer. I can't imagine what it's going to be like on the gas.
How are the PRC LS3 style heads coming along btw?

Thats great to hear! I knew that cam would work well with your setup because of the cubes and weight of the car. With the rev limiter moved up some and that gear that car should lay out some great times at the track. That cam is a big one but in the right setup it works really well.
Our aftermarket LS3s are coming along, but we still have a couple months on them. As of right now we are really pushing to finish the aftermarket LS7s that we can fit on LS3 motors.
I will keep an eye out for the track results.

Drivability is actually great.

Take a LS7, put in a hypothetical LS1/2/3 crank in it and what do you get? Less power.
The saying is always true; no replacement for displacement. I had to demonstrate that to a porsche the other day who claims to makes over 400rwhp.... and under 300rwtq....
The longer stroke will do everything your shorter one will do and sooner. Besides, when did big cammed 4" stroke motors not see great upper RPM power?

If you had a 4.125" bore why would you NOT make a 427??

I know you have a Ws6 but did we meet, excuse me if I don't remember I have a horrible memory? You coming over to Mobile with the other guys in a few weeks?
Yeah my car definitely drives very well, I was actually surprised with no surging and idles like a champ doesn't want to shut off or anything.

Yeah I think you guys set me up with the .675 lift springs, would you recommend changing springs every 15,000-20,000 miles or less? Every racing season?
