Default Need opinions on this cam for lq9

My current cam is a 216/220 .586 .586 114 lsa. I went 13.46 on this cam.

I'm about to switch to a 224/228 .581 .589 110 lsa.
I've got lts, shift kit, tune, ect ect. My stall flashes to right at 3400 rpms.

How does everyone think this cam will perform? I want to make sure I'm making the right decision. I will eventually do heads.

I agree, at the same time I like the cam you listed. I went 12.8 in my rcsb 4x4 with a 223/226

I just put that exact cam in my LQ4 with shaved heads. I like it. Have not gotten the full potential out of it. but it pulls real nice.
