Anything with spec like that. You always read about 230/236, 236/242, 227/233 stuff like thatbut what about same spec cams. Nu-Tek has a lot of single spec cams also does TPIS. But i don't see to many people post single spec cams on the board.

I think most people go with a dual pattern camshaft, is becuase the heads exhaust port flow isnt as much as the intake side, like I said though I think.

Typical LTx heads have relatively better intake than exhaust flow, especially when a restrictive street type exhaust system is used. So, they will make more hp with a "dual pattern" cam. This is especially true with a power adder, which substantially increases the volume of exhaust gasses. Cars with race heads and open exhausts often do best with single pattern cams, but even there many people use somewhat of a split, thpugh less than usually seen with street LTx cars.
