That is a pretty big cam, how much lift does it have? One thing I can tell you is, you will need LS1 Edit tuning with it.

Mitch,
The lift will not be an issue!Hopefully anyway! New Comp 26918-16 Springs ,titanium retainers, Chromoly pushrods! I believe its close to 600 though. I know its a big cam but I wanted something a little less than the G5X-2. I will maintain a stock bottom end for now! But I want at least 400rhwp on stock heads. It will be tuned as well.I was just hoping that someone was running something similar! Thanks! :cheers:

You might want to consider dual valve springs with such a big cam with .600 lift. If none of the guys on this forum are running this cam, try over on the LS1Tech.com forum those f.body guys run some BIG cams. Just do a search & post more than likely someone over there has used that cam. You have an M6 there are quite a few guys running 400 RWHP with cams smaller than the one you are considering with stock heads. If that is the only reason why you are considering such a big cam. Good Luck!!!

There are many candidates to choose from.
MTI C2 224/224 581/581 112
Comp Cams 224/228 581/581 112
Comp cams 228/228 581/581 112
TR224 224/224 561/561 or the same duration with a 581 lift.
TR230 230/224 563/563 112
Do a search over on LS1Tech there is a ton of info on cams on that web site.
