The spec's are 232/240 at .050 .595/.608 lift with a 115 lope separation. This cam works very well for forced induction applications, and yet it will still give the engine a lopey idle.

224/230 .581/.588 on a 115, slightly lopey but great for daily driver.

That other cam is way too much for the street. This cam I run and it pulled up to 6800 still making power and has excellent area under the curve.

I have the Futral F7-114:

FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 224"/230" .588"/.595" 114LSA - aggressive profile with a 1800-6800 RPM range, fair idle, recommended for blower/nitrous applications.

I like it.

I have A @ A's Blower Cam it's a 224/228 .581 .588 with a 115 centerline. I did a cam only before I did the ECS D1 kit and I gained over 50 RWHP from this cam alone. Kinda stealthy but sounds mean. I have no cats with Corsa Indy's and long tubes......

Very steep, I just had mine done for $1400, 224/228 .581 .588, I have an A&A p1 setup, I did kooks longtubes minus cats at same and gained 100 rwhp, this cam pulls all the way to redline, big difference, nice lope if you keep idle around 700 rpm. Good luck.

I run the same cam except on a 114 lsa. Awesome all around cam and really makes the power with a blower.

Lots of miles on your motor? I was planning on getting a blower cam instead of LT's when I get my SC installed, but this makes me think I should reconsider and just look for some Kooks LT or LG.
