Im assuming with those precise numbers it was cam doctored? What did you ask for compared tow hat you got? 230/228? Should be a nice came. Gonna love 3500+rpms and should make good torque.

Kyle did not spec LSK lobes? Any reason why not? O

Spring choice. Plus, I like these lobes for what he's doing. Mainly a street setup. Bunch of street racing. Lobes are big enough to pull up high, and the reverse profile should bump up the low-mid. JMO.

KB, I speced RGVSierra a 226/224 for his 6L. Ask him about his many many street victories.

Yeah it was run through the cam doctor. The folks at TR said it’s been off slightly and needs to be sent it for re-calibration. The cam came out a little more aggressive than ordered, but that’s okay with me lol.

Yes sir, Going into an LQ4…eventually lol . I was hoping to have everything I need for the swap done this month, but it looks like it’ll take a few more paychecks to get everything squared away.

sweet, maybe I can give this GTO kid a run for his money lol. I've seen some of his vids from HRP he was trapping 103-104 on average despite him showing me his 13.2 @ 106mph slip...heck even if I lose I'd love to be able to hang with em.

I don't believe there is any advance in it, maybe Kyle can chime in there. The springs I have are the Comp 918's. Is that coming up on the limit that the 918's can handle? I know they are advertised @ .600 lift...but i wasn't sure what everyone typically puts them through.

I've heard the worst and the best from them, I'm guessing that it all has to do with the way that you drive it. At least let it warm up a little before you start beating on it.
