So Keith Craft recommended a 230/236 at .050 on a 112 lobe for my motor with the webers. I am sure this will run great coming from Keith. But my question is if at some point I want to pull my webers and put my 650 4 barrel back on am I going to be able to?? Or is this thing going to be a nightmare?

No nightmare at all, but depending on what size engine it is, it may be mild mannered.

What size engine is it going in?

It should be great with that size engine on a street application. It should make peak hp at around 5500-5600. The wide LSA will tame it down quite a bit....less overlap, more vacuum, etc.

If you'll notice, Comp's line of XFI cams (which work well with SBF strokers) have a wide LSA as well. This is good for fuel injected cars that have knock sensors, but different articles have shown that the strokers really like them.
