that comp 224/230 would lope nicely i'd imagine. i got a friend with a 227/233 in his LT1 (.565 lift intake, cant remember the exhaust) and it sounds like it is about to eat somebody, but then it is on a 111 LSA. Get the 268 and let me know how it does because you EXACT setup is what I want to do in my truck
. I'm thinkin it should be very nice and might actually put my hooker supercomps to work for once! I am proud of everything on my truck except what is between the intake and the headers

I think what you want is a cam with an LSA of 112*. That LSA will lope a bit, but still be friendly enough with the ECM. If you go with a 110* LSA, the ECM wll hunt for idle RPM and maybe give you error codes. An LSA of 114* (like I have) is very ECM friendly and will idle dead steady.
Look at Comp Cams on line catalog for part# 07-502-8 (grind# 269HR-12) and part# 07-503-8 (grind# 276HR-12).
