Default 99 Transam with D1sc Cam Questian

I'm thinking of putting the Texas speed 224 cam with 112 LSA in my motor. Motor is stock right now with bolt ons, fast intake, Dynomax headers. I really just want it to sound better. With what I have now I am satisfied with the power, but not the sound. Just looking for a more aggressive sound at idle.
Will this cam hurt anything?

While that's good cam & will work, it's not the best choice for a boosted vehicle. Consider the Brute Speed blower cam. It's been tried & proven to make great power, good drivability & sounds like a bad ***.

Thanks!!!

To the OP, take a look at the link here. http://shop.brutespeed.com/Brute-Spe...d-Camshaft.htm

There is a sound clip at this link of how this cam sounds. Bob

Does the Camaro that is on the link have stock heads? Catalytic converters? Noticed check engine light on. Did this have anything to do with a cam install?
That definitely sounds nice! Say good bye to my sleeper! Lol
How much is the cam, springs,chain, push rods, balancer bolt and gaskets? Do you offer this in a kit? Also, is it recommended to degree the cam, or is it normally right on the mark?
Sorry so many questions.

I don't know anything about that particular Camaro. If you google brute speed cam you will come up with a lot of sound clips of it. Take a look at the dyno graph posted on my cam link. That was from an LS2/402 with this cam, AFR 225 off the shelf heads, FAST 92 intake, Kooks 1-7/8 headers, ProCharger F-1A at 12.4 psi of boost. It made 864 rwhp on a Mustang Chassis Dyno, and the owner took it to another shops dyno day and it made 900 rwhp on their DynoJet.
In my cam link I do offer the timing chain, springs and pushrods. I don't sell the balancer bolt and associated gaskets.
It is always recommended to degree in any camshaft, although most people just install it using the dots. Thanks. Bob

My son got back from over there last Summer, he doesn't miss the smell of burning garbage. Bob

FWIW, I was inquiring about that particular cam because of the simple fact if I decide to remove the charger, it would still work decent. Also, didn't want to do springs now. But, I do really like that cam! So.... It sounds like I may have to go for it.

+1 for the blower cam. Stock long block here with that cam. From what I seen before I think that cam did pretty well NA too.

Most people who put this cam in prior to adding forced induction usually see a 60 rwhp increase over a stock cam. I'm going to be using this same cam in my tube chassis Vega that I recently bought. Bob
