Yeah I've seen it before but I forgot the name of the site. I'll send him some money and hopefully he will get back with me soon

Usually only takes him 3 or 4 days to get back to you, but then you have to wait 3 or 4 months for EPS to get it to you. I'd suggest you do what some others have done... Have Pat G spec it and TSP grind it. I just had TSP grind me a new cam, ordered it Monday and got it Friday.

Oh damn I didn't know it would take that long for them to grind a cam. Looks like ill give tsp a call when he gets done. I'm trying to swap this motor in within a month. Thanks for the help

That was a little exaggerated, but some guys have waited 8+ weeks. I waited 6+ for one I had specced. That's why this time around I just had TSP do it.

This is also an awesome cam, been a couple of others who ran this with good results too.

I'm just wanting something that will lope hard and bite as hard as it barks haha. Oh and I do plan on getting a 150 shot hooked up to it at some point. But I'll only use the nitrous on the track and maybe on an empty highway late at night

I still think you could easily go into the 240's and 250's with the manual trans. Tyler (dirt track racer 81) daily drives an Lq4 with a cam in the 260's if I am not mistaken with an auto trans. Its all in the tune, and yours will be even easier not having to worry about a stall converter. Just my opinion though, I have never built a motor with that large of a cam so it may be best to talk with others that have, such as Tyler, and get their opinions before you pull the trigger. Oh, and he runs nitrous too which is what your planning on doing......

Try something like a 236 .602/242 .610 on XER lobes on a 110/111 LSA if you want lope.
Yoa can also check TSP's site in there cam section and spec your own. They have duration/lift/type of lobe all listed. Do some research and pick your own.

I'll wait till pat g gets back with me, the highest lsa I'd want is 112. And what's the difference between the xer, esp, etc lobes? I don't understand how the lobes would make a difference besides duration and lift?
