Yea sure I'm not one to keep a secret. 210/224 .556/568 112+5 I combined the lsr can specs with the vvt. Should get in next week and will let everyone know if it's the way to go in a heavy vvt 4.8 app

Reading this just made me wonder about a 12 ram express we put a comp cam in, and the tech swears a stock hemi would blow its doors off. kinda wonder if dodge did the same thing as gm with cam cores?

Just an update I got a call from a tech at comp since they were about ready to grind my cam. He said that the original tech did not realize that the factory 189 core will be have a standard intake centerline advance of +15. They just wanted to make sure this is correct since the grind was submitted as 112+5. Glad they called otherwise I would of been in the same boat with cam that is retarded. They took down the information again and the cam will be 210/224 556/568 112+15.. The only thing that is changed from the off the shelf version is the LSA which should give me better throttle response and slight torque advantage compared to the 114

Does that cam require the phaser limiter or no?

I was really wondering about that, Comp says yes but the lift is not much more then what my current set up is with no limiter. I figured buying the limiter is cheaper then finding out the hardway and having some interference issues. .550/.550 will clear on a vvt without a limiter.....
