Seems a bit small. I have a 244, 248 615 lift on a 114 lsa in a 442. We just finished getting the motor in and hope to start tuning it this week. I had asked the builder for something that wasn't too radical and this is what they suggested. When the motor was on the engine dyno he said that it idled like a honda but without having a tune in the car that is not the case now.

I had a 236/240 .600/.600 112 with 1.8 rockers in a 383 LS1.

It had terrific street manners. If it were me i would be looing at high 240 or a 250 duration for a 7 litre
