And capable of high 11 time slips. Anything more is an overkill.

I'm also looking at the non emissions LE cam you mentioned op. I'm looking for a cam only, stock head car and I'm keeping my 125 shot on that.

Did you have to replace all seals? I do have a minor oil leak coming from back of oil pan (I believe, have not really looked at it to make sure)

If you were to go with a more conservative grind and 1.7rr...you could get better performance than stock and come close to stock fuel mileage.
I use to like the zz4 for that but not sure if there are updated profiles that can match it or better. You running forged bottom? if not how long u been on 125shot +stock bottom? wondering how long it can put up with it.

Nonsense....mine went 150K easy before I blew it up LOL...could have gone another 50K+ if had taken it easy on it. No wear in the cylinders at all; cam bearings were a bit rough however.

I'm looking for much better than stock, and I don't give a damn about gas mileage. It's not my daily. Not sure where I can across wanting a more conservative cam because I said I wanted the non emissions LE.
Th car has 80,000 miles and I have sprayed 20,000 of that. It loves it. Stock heads, and all stock internals. Just bolt ons, !all emissions, !a/c, nitrous, and a Solomon tune.

Stock heads max flow is at .500. .600 and .500 flow the same on intake and 1 cfm higher on exhaust. So to take full advantage of stock heads anything over .500 lift and closer to .600 will get you the max out of the stock heads. There isn't really a point going over .600 on stock you won't gain anything and it will just be harder on parts.

I did the le cam on a stock long block and am thrilled with the results. It requires a lot of converter but pulls like crazy. The best thing to do is call Lloyd and tell him what your goals, budget, and parts are.

I dont want the hot cam, its not that much power
Also I called Lloyd and he gave me a cam that will set me in my seat till 6300 rpm. I told him what I had and he said he would do it for 300 then 250 for springs and stuff

Stock Throttle body was recorded to flows like 783cfm.

A 350 with 100% VE only consumes 709cfm at 7000rpm.
