I'm no expert but id call comp, according to the LsX guru there he said that the Ls3 heads flow so good on the intake side that you must compliment the exhaust with about 10-12 * of exhaust. It really applies to you since your plans are for spray. I'm planning on spray as well with my build in my sig. I'd go with the LsR lobes too. Let is know what you find.

Sounds like a nice cam!

I started my mods with a hotcam and full bolting, then added a fast 90/90 and Harland sharp 1.8's for a little extra lift.

Then I went with tfs 220 heads and a vrx5 cam but I got bored with it and I knew deep down inside and I should of gotten a vindicator cam instead.

So later on I came across a sweet deal on a forged 416 and it's been a year in the making with the rearend and the rest of the stuff in my sig.

Bottom line is if you think it might be too big then get the next bigger one because that bug is going to sink it's teeth into you and the **** doesn't stop
Go all out now instead of later when it's costing you more money lol.
