I have 228 232 588 575 115

The one you list sounds like it would work, too.

Thats a pretty big cam for a mag.. I think you would have a hard time keeping the cylinders full with that cam.

Keeping the cylinders full? Not sure exactly what that means. Not running enough boost? What problems/danger?

Thanks.

That cam is very big for a mag. I would go with something in in 218/224 range. It will still make good power and keep the boost level high.

I really don't know what I am talking about, but it has to do with the overlap and blowing boost straight out the exhaust. In theory, it's better to have a slightly smaller intake and higher exhaust number (i.e. 218/224). . .I went with a 224/224. . .

I would call Andy and see what he recommends?

I say try it, but if I had my choice I'd want to back down the intake duration to around 224ish

The zoom lens is only so good...after awhile it's hard to distinquish you from a water spot.

My wife asked "how in the world did he take that while driving?" I grinned and said he's got to have another hobby, cause this vette thing is not working out for him. He would have got all the car in the picture, but I had just floored it and the vortex from the ATI is pulling his hand and camera out the window. He's lucky to still have it



OR

If I didn't know those were water spots

Could be beads of sweat from you car with that silver menace in its mirror

Randy: Yeah, if he comes up it's on
Z: We'll try, but I don't know

Yea he's got a real sweet Z. I'm sure it's real strong on the gas.

Ok...the spots are really from where I spewed when you rolled up beside me and asked..."That thing got a Hemi?"
