Comp RPM ratings are out the window, for LT1s at least. Both cams will want to spin over 6300 in a 350cid lt1 - I dont care what kind of marketing buzzword they put on the lobes.

Seriously, its been beat to hell - if you are going to go that big on a cam might as well spend a few more $$$'s and go custom...

You will most likely not be happy with either and end up going custom eventually anyway

So, you actually ran the valvetrain that is in your motor?

I have no doubt that the 467 grind with the LE2s will make power. A buddy of mine has a "custom" cam but I've seen it several times in other cars.

Yep! I used the 07-467-8, 280XFI HR-13 and the shift points were programed for 6250.

For a 230/236 it sure had a nice mellow idle I'm sure the 113 LSA helped with that.
