Looks like a great "grind" Should be pretty nasty! Are you doing springs and pushrods too? Can't wait to hear it

I have that exact cam in my car for a year now. I ordered it direct from comp cams and it shakes a lot. Decent amount of overlap. I'm not sure what makes it a 'custom blower cam' but it sure is good as an N/A cam. I have a 950 idle and I dont think it would be a great cam in an auto due to lope at auto-friendly rpm's.

Guy,I hope it doesn't "shake" when I drive it!
I told Dan at Livernois just what I wanted...a little "cam sound",NO lurching at idle,and a good match for my Maggie
I'm looking forward to a good thing!

Nice cam, but I hope you have a high(er) stall torque converter also.

I told the shop I got it from that I "didn't want" any of those problems,so They said They'll "adjust" for such problems!
Guess I'll have to give them a call!!

The Maggie will tend to tame down that idle, and give you instant off-idle throttle response.

That sounds better Gary!!

I have a very similar cam (228/232 .588 .575 113lsa MTI G1 cam ). Its lumpy and shakes the car a good bit at idle, but I love every minute of it It does smooth out once you're rolling or touch the gas though.
