AI 230/238

Anyone here running this cam? I haven't seen as many threads about it as the 226/234 (which i have now). I just picked this one up last night because the price was right I figured I can decide later if i want to use it or not. I looked at the cam card and its a 108LSA grind with .600 intake lift instead of the usual 110 .575/.575 they advertise. I think i will like how the 108 LSA runs, only concern might be vacuum for the brakes.

Currently I have the 226/234 with milled stock heads and have been very very happy with it. Eventually my engine will need a rebuild though, the rings seem be getting tired at 108k since it burns a little oil at WOT with a fresh valve job. I'd like to go a little wilder on the next setup. Since i will be swapping to 24x at that time, tuneability should be better and i wont have to worry about revving too high. More than likely id get some headwork done as well.

Is anyone in the 4xx rwhp range with this cam? I'm making 373 with the 226/234 and stock heads, so i think 400 should be my minimum expectation if im going to make the change (heads or not).

400+ with heads shouldnt be a problem. i ran a similar cam and put down 420 at 5900 rpms.

I like that cam, if i were doing a cam for an NA set up that cam would be one of my choices just like LEs 231/239

Thats good to hear. The only numbers I have found so far are less than I'm making with my 226/234

I feel that cam would shine with ported heads.

Just curious, any details on the Silver Z in your sig?

Silver Z was a mild bolt on car that ran very hard for what it was... she is sitting on the backburner for now.
96,6spd,4.10s,BMR sfc,Lca,Drs,1.6rr,pacesetterLts,2.5"X pipe w/1chAmber flows,madtuner tune, 3580 race weight 12.98@106 3000'DA. On a 150 shot 11.33-11.39 ... 9 years of fun and broken clutches, 10-bolts lol....

There are plans in the making for a very fun shootout car

Awesome! I saw your screen name and assumed it related to the Z. What class are you building it for?

The set up will place me in extreme street

Good luck! There are a few of us on here that finally have our cars together that are trying to run in ES classes. Should be interesting.
