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?

Custom is a subjective word. A lot of times a "custom cam" has been recommended to someone before. Unless you're running something off the wall, someone probably has the same grind. 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.
