I would like to see that too, however there isnt a dyno that is real close to me and im not driving 100 miles to dyno before and 100 miles after the cam install. trust me, there was an improvement in the lower rpms after the cam
just like I have seen GMCtrk say about tuning with Zippy it's all about spending time on the tune and getting the timing right down low and getting it all dialed in just right for the setup

Are there any plans for headwork? If not I think that you'll be putting unnecessary stress on the valvetrain with that much lift, but it will still work if you really want the extra lift for whatever reason. If you want to run any sort of duration like you're mentioning, you're going to need a nice torque converter to help get that thing moving. I'd recommend a 212/218 .56x/.56x on a 114 or 115 with a 2600 verter. Seems like you like a little more duration though, after reading this and your other thread, so you could do a 216/22x .56x/.56x 114 with a 3k converter.

What gears and what size tires does your buddy's rig have? Might want to consider some 4.10's or even 4.30's. If the tires are the stock height I'm assuming that's around 31-32"? Yea man, get the gears

Ok man thanx alot i think hes gettin a 216/220 with a .550 duration 112LSA..and a 3000 yank..so u think he should get 4.10s? Cause hes thinking about street strip and i think the stock ratio is 3.73?

forged 4.10's will do" . .. if u want low end get a 212/218 , 56X lift on a 112 +114 lsa . . 220R is a nice proven cam , mid -top end cam .. and YES he would need a nice Stall 3000+ to get that thing moving. . hes prob running 243/799 heads.. those are nice flowing heads .. ported even better . .
