Exclamation cam question...

so I got a cam specked to compliment my cnc ported heads and it is a 234 / 234. Is this size acceptable for a daily driver or is that more of a drag strip only cam... Any help would be appreciated! thanks

When you had it spec'ed, I'd think that question would have came up...?

If it's tuned right, it should make a great DD cam. DD's mostly in the tune. You can DD a cam in the 240's if it's tuned to perfection. That's not too big by any means, and if it really does compliment your heads, then all the better.

A big part of the question is how much overlap does the cam run (what is its LSA?).

itll be fine, lsa wont affect drivability too much lsa is mainly just the widening and narrowing of your powerband....that and how it itles

Man people DD a TRex, you'll be fine as long as it's a good tune. Stall or clutch would make a difference too. Can't believe nobody mentioned that yet.
