Cam selection 232/591 224/581 112 LSA
I've narrowed down my cam selection and am looking at a local speed shops custom grind (232/591 224/581 112 LSA) to go with my ported and polished heads. My car is an MN6 and the heads will have the rev-dual springs. The car see's about 50 miles a week going to work and back along with some pleasure cruising and some street bashing. I want a choppy nasty idle but the LSA has me a little concerned and the XER lobes on the cam may eat up my springs pretty quick. Any thoughts on how streetable this cam will be?

You will be fine on a 112 lsa with your M6 but the key will be getting professional tuing by a competent ls1 edit tuner on a dyno. I take it the intake and exhasut on the two cams is 232/232 and 224/224. I would go with the bigger cam 232 If your looking to extract every bit of power although the 224 will certainly be more street friend but both will be streetable.
The lifts on boths cams (under .600) although healthy are nothing to crazy and the most important advice i can give you is GET THE BEST SPRINGS THAT $ CAN BUY the dual revs are not the BEST SPRING. Spend a few hundred extra for piece of mind and dependability and get the comp 921 springs or the dual patriot golds as i believe both springs are battled tested with great results.
