Default Going with a bigger cam

I have decided to push the enveLOPE a little further.
The cam I have now is not makeing me 100% happy. I plan on going with bigger tires soon and don't want to loose the power I already have. I'll give you guys the spec's once it's in. I will say I am going with a traditional split cam with more duration, more lift and less LSA. I have to wait and find another core. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but the 220 cam I have now is ground on an 07 core. It's not an 06 cam with a Z06 spraket.

I'm going for a little more power and more lope. before I made 353RWHP & 356RWTQ with everything in my sig. I'm adding a shift kit tomorrow and the new cam to come soon.

O.K. I'm done

Changing out a cam when you are 100% happy is dumbbbb... especially for more lope. When you bump up the tire size, try compensating with a smaller gear (4.10). Changing cams isn't what you're after. Since you'll be needing more lower RPM torque, added duration isn't right. You need less duration. Tighter LSA should be okay. More lift should be okay.

the reason I'm changing is because I'm NOT 100% happy, lol.

I'm going with something like a 224/228 .58x/.58x 112 LSA. no need for me to keep it a secret from you fellers. and I have a great tuner.
