What LSA and what motor?

I run a 224/224 @.050 112LSA .581/.581 w/ XER comp lobes in my LQ4. Have only had it out once but like it so far

I am running this Howards Billet cam shaft in my 5.7 LS:

Part Number: 190315-14 Duration 260 / 264 Lift .595 / .598 Lobe separation 114

My engine builder says the Lobe separation is the key to building big power down low. now my motor does have a little extra compression. With this cam the motor turns on right off of idle and pulls strong to 6k. My tune has the idle set at 800 and everything works get. My engine builder uses this same cam in engines he builds for Air Boats and they make around 425hp and around 440lbs of torque.

All I know when ever I go wheel, everyone wants to know what motor and cam I have in my rig.
