That new LSR is a small cam with big lift, exactly what the pundits say works with these LS motors (when emissions are considered).

I don't think the max HP will be extreme, but the - AVERAGE - HP and torque throughout the range should be excellent.

Although with the DuSpeed OTR you have on now, there has been lots of work done to tunes with the 224/228.

I like the idea of the new LSR lobes from comp, but you pays your money and makes your choice.

Yeah I have a 54-456-11 and a 54-457-11
I was going to chuck on in a C6, but Im not so sure I can afford it at present..

One is 219/227 the other 223/231, both LSR high lift jobs with around 0.610 lift on 112 LSA

The theory was that the 219/227 should be able to pass MOT due to slightly -ve overlap, whereas the other one is a little more experimental smile
Also got valve springs to match. Comp 918's

You would want to check P2V clearance with them, but they should be ok. I could be tempted to part with one biggrin
