Cubes eat overlap. I'm guessing you'll be OK. If PG says it's good, who are we, as mere mortals, to question?

I see no issue with overlap as long as you stay efficient pushing the amount of boost you want to run

With my 408 and 1900 he recommend the 218/230 .600/.600 117 and I told him basically the same thing; DD, shift at ~6200, good midrange.

Seems like a big jump to 231/239 .598”/.610” 116LSA with the only real difference being blower size.

You have different heads as I was using 317s...but ive heard the rect port heads didnt like big duration so I am really interested to see what you think of your cam.

I thought his recs would be closer to the cam you're selling. Your new cam would definately be noticable in a 6.0L. Don't have a clue how it would compare when you add more cubes. I know cubes tend to tame a bigger cam. That just seems like a whole lot more cam than I would think would play nice in a 6.0L.

I can see already that your snout pulley is too big. You haven't even broken the first ring land you're in need of a smaller pulley.
