I like the looks of this cam for my LQ9...I've been considering a Comp XER around 224/228 or 224/230 with around .588 lift on a 112, I wonder if the EPS lobes are an improvement over the XER's? I would think so as Geoff definitely knows his **** and his lobes are newer than the XER's...

Supposedly the ramp rate of the EPS lobes are less harsh on the valvetrain. Even with the 224/230 in my 5.3L my idle isn't rocking me all over the place, its smooth. And through my 22in magnaflow, unless you know your stuff, the cam isn't that noticeable. Thats the way i like my setup though.

Im running 3.73s on a 29in tire, right now i just have a reworked TB stall (2500) it came with the built tranny i bought off of a buddy. I just swapped the 5.3 into the truck in place of the V6 back in november so im still working out some kinks/ upgrading parts. I plan on going at least a 3200ish stall though, preferebly bigger.

Stalls r addicting I have a 3200 and just had to her the 3600.. I say u should get 3600.. that cam will really like it. So will u!

Aint that the truth brother! My Circle-D 258mm multi-disc flashes to 3k behind my current mild 5.3, and I want more! I'm thinking of taking it from it's current 2b status to a 2c if and when I csn ever afford my LQ9 swap...even though going from a 5.3 to a 6.0 alone will raise the stall about 200-400 RPM...
