I'm VERY interested to hear your comparison of this 231/239 LSL cam versus the 226 XER cam - driveability, low end power, throttle response, top end pull etc.


What converter do you use?

here is a direct quote from patrick g who specked out my cam.

The added overlap is one of the biggest ways you'll gain power under the curve. Your mid-range power will be outstanding and your top-end pull will be very strong. You'll definitely need to make some changes to your tune. But you should get your 2 tenths once tuned.
another quote while i was asking questions about what to expect it to act like

Basically, your mid-range power at 4000 rpm and up will pull away from your current cam. If you're currently shifting above 6800 rpm, you'll see a big gain.
and when i asked about bottom end power:

As long as your tune is updated, your 60' times should remain strong
for those who dont know who patrick g is he is the "go to" guy on tech for custom ground cams. he asked EVERYTHING about my truck. head flow specks, gears, tire size, weight, motor, gasket thickness, blah blah blah. he knew more about my setup than i do by the end of things.

I'll be interested to see what Charlie can do with the driveability on that cam. It's got 13 degrees of overlap, which is a healthy amount. How soon till you have it running?
