I'm looking at either the Comp or EPS 224/230 cams when I eventually build my LQ9...considering having the Comp ground on a 112 lsa but not sure yet. What springs are you guys using with these cams? If I went with the EPS and the lift over .600 I'd probably go with some duals myself. On paper, you could get away with PAC 1218's for the Comp 224/230, which I believe has lift of .581/.592 (I've seen the exhaust lift listed as .588, but guys with the actual cam have reported that the cam card lists is over .590), but that's cutting it kinda close as the 1218's are rated to .600 lift.

I have a set of WCCH LQ9 heads, they come assembled with Patriot Duel springs rated at .650 lift.

The only videos I found of that cam on a truck is from username txtootall on youtube but he has an LQ4 and 110lsa on the cam.

Not really an idle clip though..

Just the usual. ASM longtubes, no cats and a cat back system from Gibson. Just using the stock mid pipes with the cats cut out of them.

When I first got the Gibson system I didn't really like the sound of the Gibson muffler but after awhile I started to like the sound better.
