Hey Klug,
How did you calculate the DCR based on the cam specs the OP listed? To me (and I haven't the brain for this), it looks like you would need more specs. I'm not doubting you, I'm curious because my setup is very similar and I've been going off of a friends calculations/experience.
My setup:
'03 LQ9 (31K miles, FWIW)
LS6 intake- mildly hand-ported, mostly to match TB adapter
80mm TB
Z06 243s
EPS 226/230, .598/.600, 113+2
1.75" long tubes
FLT Level6 4L60E
2002 S10 extended cab (3300lbs.?)
My friend spec'ed me a slightly different cam- 228/230, .571/.573, 112LSA, 110ICL. On my LQ9 with 243s, he calculated 11.13SCR, with that cam- 8.43DCR. 228 isn't one of EPS's options, so I went with the 226. With the larger lift and advanced timing, I don't believe my DCR will change much from what I was spec'ed, will it? I'm not trying to hijack the OP's thread. I figure if mine was determined to be ok, then the OP's should definitely be ok since his is slightly less aggressive than mine.

Sure no problem. I've got a pretty slick DCR calculator/spreadsheet that I use that is Excel based and it is accurate. Also I am very familiar with that cam he is running so I have all of the full specs on it. My DCR spreadsheet has a pretty big list of Comp specs and lobe numbers for many lobes out there. It's pretty handy! I can do some figuring the long way too on calculating DCR but with that handy spreadsheet it has spoiled me! LOL.

Well scrap that whole plan for now. My buddy I was getting the short block from truck ate a cam bearing. So we swapped the flat top motor in last week with a set of cleaned up 241's and a tsp 224r. Runs good.

So, Klug, can you tell me what my DCR would be with those build specs I listed?
