The big reason i am doing this is bc i HATE RICERS and i would like to beat the mostly stock LS1's and the WRXs and cars like that. When i pop my hood and i have a 305 tbi im not proud of that at all u know but when they see a LT1 that will be sweet then have the power to back it all up.
thanks

if you don't have an F-Body, i.e. you have a car weighing 4000+, you should consider an RV type cam. They are configured and designed for pulling power. I.e, pulling out of the hole. The Crane 210/224 or the LPE 211/219 fit that profile.
I run the 227 in my 97SS and gets it on out of the hole. JMHO

Low end tq is a lot more fun on the street then peak power anyway. It sucks getting pulled off the line by minivans unless you go 75% throttle

It is a great cam. I had it with LPE heads/intake/LT's/ORY/3.73 gears and was able to get a 12.09 @ 115.5. Averaged around 12.15 to 12.2 @ 114.5 to 115 through the traps on a sea level track. While it had Edelbrock 1 5/8" shorties attatched to the stock exhuast including stock cats it turned 12.6 @ 110.5mph at a 600ft. ele. track. Car would get 27mpg on the highway and high teens to low 20's in the city. Drove just like stock. It used to be dubbed an "RV cam" back in the day because of its low end grunt. I think my power peaked right around 5900rpm. Shift points were at 6200rpm. IMO you won't find a better performing cam for what it is. As far as lopey goes, if you run it with cats then it'll sound stock. No one will be able to tell except you and someone who knows what to listen for. W/out cats it'll have a bit more of a lope to it, but nothing to write home about.
