I ordered the 236/242 114 cam this afternoon and just got a notification that it already shipped. Sure beats the 4 months I waited for a cam last time. The guys at Butler are probably tired of hearing from me by now, so maybe they're eager to get my junk shipped off and so I get out of their hair LOL.

That's cool. Try it with the current converter and see how it acts. My thought is no sense in spending money on another custom unit until you've put some drive time on it to come to a conclusion. And a good comparison to a new converter if you so choose.

Not sure how your 13" Continental acts, but I wonder if it would be anything like the GM L88. I've had experience with those in the past and currently run one in the Firebird. They are 13" and typically they only flash up around 2400. Might flash to maybe 2600 if it were behind a really torquey Pontiac but generally, the L88 converter drives around tight and doesn't flash all that high. Fine on a mild street car and doesn't complain when you don't have much rear gear either.

The one I'm currently running, I'd have no issues trying it behind a 236 @ .050 cam on a 114 in a well built 455, and some day I'll try that.

The 239 on a 112 idle clip I posted above is using a custom TSP 9.5" converter that flashes up around 3400-ish but drives around town really nice. Your 236 on a 114 should idle even smoother than that one.
