Im running the truck torque 3

224/230 .610/.605 on a 111lsa +2

LT's, 65e, 3.73s, trutrac, intake, 31lbrs, and tune. It runs great.

Considering i went from a V6, to this. I haven't had time for dyno/track numbers yet. Just a few mexico runs. Im not complaining one bit. You'll like the eps cam. Do some searching on ls1tech. Those guys are putting great power and times with small-mild cams. Plus the eps lobes supposedly aren't as hard on the valvetrain.

Hope that helps

I have the 222/226 .598 on a 111 LSA, not in the truck yet but it should be a good runner.

Geoff at EPS uses a modifeid version of the new Comp Cams LSr lobes. I ordered a Pat G cam through EPS. Very happy with it so far and it idles great (pretty mild 218/222 cam).

This is from EPS's site:

I got the EPS/Comp cam custom grind , 226/230 .589/.600 113+2. I haven't got it in yet but I like what I'm hearing about it so far. It seems more people are going for 113 LSA, looking for a wider power band.

EPS has some really good lobes and make good power with smaller cams
