i was wondering if these are good cam specs. 231/243.617/.624

seems a like a lot of duration and lift for the exhaust stroke compared to the intake side, and no mention of the LSA. the intake on that would be 231 duration and .617 lift while the exhaust is .624 lift and 243 duration as you have it the exhaust is more lift and more duration to clear out what...... the LSA will determine how close the lobes of the cam are and how much power it makes up top and how drive able down low. there are articles online about the effects of LSA.

Those are good specs, consider the life of your valve springs. The more aggressive , the shorter the life span of the parts. I ended up with a texas speed 229/236 113 LSA.

Very streetable, the car is a daily driver.

Id consider staying away from comp cam and go with a cam motion core.

Close to nighfury specs. I have a comp core and don't have any issues. But if I could have the choice I would go with cam motion just to play it safe.
