Default Lunati 382 LS1 motor, which cam?

Having a 382 LS1 built, using TEA S2 Heads (A4)

Currently running a TR224 cam in my 346 but that'd probably be too small for a 382 right?


What size does everyone recoomend? I want something that's not crazy... still needs to be somewhat streetable and I don't want to run past about 580 max lift if possible...

I was thinking maybe something along the lines of 234/238 on a 110 LSA?

I guess a starting point would be "How do you like the idle, RPM range, and drivability of the 224 in your 346?"

so far the 224 seems pretty decent in my 346 .. it's on a 112 LSA but it idles very well (after I tweaked w/LS1 Edit). Driveability is fine too.. prior to deciding on this 382 I had thought about going w/a bigger cam (more along the lines of the TR230 cam).

RPM Range is great on it too... w/the stroker I'll prolly want to spin to 6700 max (I've heard the Comp 987 springs can float a little past that) .. i'm spinning to 6500 right now and it feels like it's still pulling (though I never had the car dynoed while the 224 was in)

I had a 224/224 .539 114 in my 383 stroker and swaped to a 236/232 .602/.575 112. the 224 sounded near stock but made good numbers 448/439. the bigger cam sounds MUCH better, very nice lope and still idles great at 850. made 457/448 for power.
