Default Your thoughts on this Cam
I am thinking of buying this cam. It it 230/236 .510 .520 and a 110lsa. I am wondering what your inputs on a cam with a low lsa would be. Given I run my car as a street and strip car do you think this cam will benefit me or should I look for something with a higher lsa. I have LT headers, True dual exhaust, T-56 tranny, 4.10 gears, 75 shot of nitrous at the moment, Running 315 drag radials. Let me know what you think.

A 110lsa isnt low its just that the lsa's are so wide on the off-the shelfs that everyone is so used to seeing that so a 110 seems low. Lots of the old muscle cars run 10X lsa's. I would think you would actually gain a little bit by going with the 110lsa over say a 112lsa.

That is what I was needing to hear. I will buy it then. I just never messed with a cam under a 112lsa and was just wondering how it would react with all I have done and also my nitrous. I do still plan on porting my intake and heads.
