Default TR 230/236 cam

Has anyone used this cam? Thinking about it for an 04 Z. May just stick with the stock ls6 heads with 921 springs. How is this cam for making good torque numbers. Not to worried about hp numbers I want good torque.

I run a 230-236 112 XE-R cam. With a SD tune it's a great cam. Very streetable. I use the car to commute on nice days in DC RUSH hour traffic and it's fine.

I run a 228/232 and except for the idle its hard to tell the difference from stock in easy driving. The cam you are considering is not that much different and with a good tune should be fine for the street.

I want a nasty idle. Will the idle be nasty with this cam?

My car is definitely not stock to hear it. It's got a sweet lope and the valve noise to let you know not to *uck with me. A 112 will give you that nasty idle more so than the 114. It will also give you more power under the curve. A standard (non-SD) tune will shake more.
