Default good setup

ok i need everyones advice possible. this is the setup i am looking at. a 228R cam, with 1218 springs. its my DD in the summer, it has LT headers, lid, cut out, A4. im lookin for a good fun streetable cam, but yet will have that nice choppy cam sound to it. i also take it to the track once or twice a month. if you think a different cam would do the trick lett me know. thanks guys

i have that cam on a 112 lsa and i love it. you really should get a stall first though because you will have alot more fun with the stall imo.

i plan on getting a stall, but since it is winter and this is a bigger project, i figure since im not driving it right now that ill do the cam swap during my auto class. plus i can get help with timing and stuff. does the setup make good power? and what size stall you have?

that cam is gonna need imo at least a 3000 stall to have good drivability. i have a yank 3600. my numbers are in my sig. no track times yet but it runs like a beast!

the Torquer 2 seems to be a little bit to big of cam for a DD. correct me if im wrong. and if i were to get the Torquer 2 then it would be a good idea to get max 650 lift springs right?

Ive seen cams much bigger than that one in daily drivers. The tuner makes all the difference in that. Some Comp 918's rated to .625 lift should be just fine.

What I know torquer v.2 can be daily driver..I got a friend with a 6.0 and h/c has that cam drives everday with no problem but runs with a pi 3600 stall sounds really good I would recommend that cam!
