oh never mind then.

Get a custom grind 224/224 .600/.600 on a 110 lsa.

That's what I want to run when I go to a lqX

thats a fairly large cam with ALOT of lope even in a lqx

im not cam literate but ive heard a TR224 in a lq4 and its pretty damn lopey

keep in mind a cam for a supercharged engine is quite different from a NA cam

True, but I'm running a tr224 on a 112lsa in my 5.3L right now and I daily drive the **** out of it(just put 350 miles on it nonstop today).

If you just want a little bit of lope get a tr224.
