Help me choose between two grinds
Help me choose between two grinds Okay I've narrowed my search down to these:
Comp Cams 467 XFI
Advertised RPM Band - 2000 - 6000
230/236 @.50 - .576/.570 Lift (1.6 RR) - 113 LSA
OR
Comp Cams 468 XFI
Advertised RPM Band - 2200 - 6200
242/248 @.50 - .584/.579 Lift (1.6 RR) - 113 LSA
I want to shift my ride at right around 6300, I'm on a stock bottom end with LE2 heads. The powerband of the 230/236 sounds right about what I'm looking for but the 242/248 is still pretty close, if the power difference is big enough I'd just shift at 6500..
Application is a 100% street car. Stock weight, M6, 4.10s, LE2s, as fast as possible while being streetable for a couple days a week.
Any help would be appreciated in helping me decide between the two.

I love the big lift on these cams though, makes good use of my heads haha

Stay away from the 242/248 if you've got stock CID. I ran that cam and it was a mistake. Didn't do my homework. It had no low end on my 350 and wasn't much fun for cruising or daily driving other than the sound. You can get a nice sound with a much smaller cam too. I have a custom grind cam now.

I've been trying to get a custom cam, first bret bauer flaked on me, then cam motion flaked and now I can't get jay allen to respond rofl
Yeah I think so. 242/248 is just too much duration. When dyno tuning, we spun mine up to 7,000 and never did find a power peak. We didn't want to go beyond that. So we set the shift points for 6300 and rev limiter at 6800 and I ran it for about 3,000 miles. I had to get it out of there and get something better suited for my setup and goals.

Or perhaps all three are very busy.

I guess if I didn't have $50K to throw down a car they didn't need my business. So I finally got something rolling with Comp and I settled on a custom with them.
