looks like a good low end conf. 111lsa will idle rough, so you got what you wanted.... the int. and exh. look a little higher than i'd expect on a 111lsa cam and the offset grind, are you going with a blower down the road?

With an LS6 you should be at the power you want, the idle will definately sound wicked!

I love my big cam, you'll be happy.

I have a 111 LSA. It idles awesome. I love how it shakes the car now. I would suggest getting LS1 edit. My car ran just fine w/o it but the cam shook the car quite a bit. It smoothed it out after the edit. Plus I got 25 rwhp and 30 ft/lb's. Good luck w/ your cam. kaley

I almost ran the identical cam except it was on a 112 lsa...it will lope like a 60's big block Chevelle. You will have to drill a hole in the T/B...no amount of tuning will help that sucka! But no big deal. You should get those numbers easy and more if you have all the other bolt ons, headers etc....By the way with my cam I got 429.9/400 rwhp/rwtq at 6500 rpms.
