Need second opinions on BIG Whipple build
DEFINITELY NOT for the faint of heart!
sounds about right for a guess... the X3 on 114 should do the trick.

G5X3 on a 114LSA will bleed off some boost and have a nice lope to it. Or just do what I did and call up comp cams and have your own custom grind done...
I prefer their less aggressive lobes for FI. Easier on the valve train...
Something like...
Intake lobe 3719 232 .575 lift
Exhaust lobe 3653 240 .588 lift
grind it on a 114 or 113LSA...
If you want a more aggressive lobe with more lift...
3726 232 .595 lift
3730 240 .609 lift
you can look at their lobes here..page 29 and 30

Custom grind was $406 and I had it in a week...

FWIW I'm running a G5-X2 w/ 114 lsa, you can click the link in my sig to hear it. The new yella terras are a great piece and a direct bolt on (unless you have an early LSX w/ perimeter bolt valve covers)
Here's the YTs... too bad I had to cover them up

Harland Sharps are kinda heavy for 7500rpm and boost. I'd go with the rebuilt stockers or something else. I have the HS rockers as well, not bad but too heavy on the nose.

You're Welcome Richard!
I forgot about FMS cams. They use a Cam Motion lobe, which is a bit easier on valvetrain parts than the XE-R lobes from Comp and MUCH easier than the LSK lobes. Allan knows his stuff too. I have a buddy who put a Futral H/C (F13 and a set of Meaux ported heads)setup on his car and is putting 482 to the wheels and is VERY driveable!

I went with the following cam and we will see.
FMS FM8 Cam 225/233 .575 on a 113+2 with 1.75 rockers which ends up in around .595 total lift.
I wanted lope but did not want to kill drivability. I have plenty of boost on tap with the 2.8L KB.

I think the cam (228-232) you have would be good on a 114 or 115 LS, Maybe get the AFR 225's. I think your better off staying with the AFR 205s over the dart 225's though. Let the whipple make the power and keep your driveability civilized until you gun it. IMHO
