Thoughts on this custom cam

227/239 duration, .560"/.577"(1:6RRs) 114lsa

full bolt on motor,ported heads, full exhaust, 3.73's might see some spray 100 shot max.

My question is is this a nice streetable cam? decent power? choppy idle?

if you don't mind me asking how much?

Lloyd is making me a cam for $300 shipped, considering your avg off the shelf cam is around $260+shipping I'd say it's worth the extra $20-30

cam seems decent and will make some power though the 114 LSA leaves a little to be desired though

looks very streetable imo

The cam is one of those parts where it's worth the money to get exactly what you want and need.

I agree, its always nice to try and save a little coin these days. I just didnt wanna get caught needing a huge stall. or have surge issues like the cc306.

i Had a cc306 it was brutal for a DD, it would lug in traffic quite often.

I wouldn't spec the camshaft for nitrous if you are only going to occasionally do a 100hp shot.
