Yep i am looking forward to the cam.... Here is a little more email correspondance from him.

Me: Thanks for the specs! I was wondering how is this cam going to act/perform compared to my current cam?

Ed: Should be a major mid-range punch at the track. Probably a more harsh hit during the shift ups..

Me: Cool, so my lowend and topend will remain roughly the same?

Ed: Low end will be a joke.... That's what slicks are for... :-)

that is what i took from his statement, coupled with the slicks statement... And if you notice in the background of my gasket pics, those are my slicks sitting there...

Ed definitely sounds like he knows his stuff. I'm going to consider him to spec my cam depending on Hirdle's results with his flowtech cam. Alternatively, Im thinking of just having a TR224 cut on a 110 lsa.

My point exactly... That is why i went to Ed and Patrick to see what they would recommned, there are just toooooooooooooooooo many variables, and if you choose wrong, well look at my sig and you can see the results of my 2 cam choices... The smaller one was actually faster at the track, but crappy to DD, the bigger one was slower at the track but funner to DD... So go figure..
