Default 233/239 Cam tune ?

I was given a EPP/Texas Speed 233/239 cam low mileage (10k) for my LS2.

I have stock heads, Kooks headers & X pipe, NXS catback, ported LS2 intake and Ported Throttle Body and Callaway CAI.

The question is, tune-ability? do you have fuel smell, is this able to be tuned out or is the valve overlap insurmountable

Lobe separation is NOT the overlap, it can play into it, duration and LS make up the whole picture.

Hoping for someone that actually has the cam to chime in about the ability of the tuner to tune this cam with the stock ECU,

I am going to sell this cam, after having 5 custom cams ground to my specs by Bullet Cams, I guess I know in my heart of hearts that 11-degrees will be a "chore" to tune out fuel smell and I do not want the fuel smell again

I'm gonna get the SpinMontser 230/234 and call it done, 4 degrees Overlap is tuneable, this I know

If you don't have cats, you're going to be stinky with just about any performance cam. Plain and simple. Stinky can be a little or a lot. Again, depends on the cam and the tune.
