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?).

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.
