When I first got my cam I had stock manifolds, ls1 intake and a Lid
My cam was a 239 236 610 600 on a 109LSA
The car made 370 Hp consistantly
And drove fine!!

Anything under a 600 lift is very reasonable for a stock car IMO...And I like the duration specs

Sounds like a good cam for a daily-driver. I'm not a fan of huge cams that shake the entire car and ruin the drivability and throttle response. Bigger isn't always better if it makes your car drive like ****.

my 235/240 .603/.609 on 113 shakes the car a little but its still drivable. 6 speed makes it easy.
