I have a set of TEA's cut .030. I ran a 224 112+2 cam and dyno'd 411 through my 12 bolt. On friday, I installed a 228/230 FMS cam on a 114+4 LSA. The car actually has better street maners then it did with the 224 comp cam. I have about 100 miles on the car so far and wish I would have went with the FMS cam first. The power difference, even without a retune, is unreal. Down low and up top.

That is me. I went with the 114+4 to help out my midrange. IMO, my midrange and tq sucked ***** with the 224 on my car. I am also running the 987's. Can't tell you just yet how they are holding up, but the manners of this cam are night and day compared to my comp. It drives better, doesn't stall, and without a tune, is noticably better throughout the whole midrange.
Oh you asked about lift. 576/596

I called and talked to Allen at Futral about it several times. I originally was going to get a 112+4, but we both decided on the 114+4 to be on the safe side. I am extremely happy I went this direction. If you have anymore questions, you can hit me up on AIM or here or there.. LOL
