I would consider getting PAT G to spec you one on EPS... Will make power of a larger cam and be the same size as the ones listed.

If not, 224 gets my vote.. Proven time and time again as a great DD cam that performs as well.

Our TRuTorq level 2 223/230 115 could pass emissions on a properly tuned setup. We are seeing 420-440 out of this cam in cam only setups...

Thanks,
Shane

The SI5 cam is from Speed Inc., not Thunder Racing. Specs are 231/237 112 LSA. That cam gets my vote. Big, but not too big to where you loose a lot of low end power and torque, plus it will sound like a beast at idle.

I hope you're trying to say that 420-440hp is crank hp not rwhp.

I'm happy with my TR224, but like posted above I would go with a Pat G cam if I did it again. That way you'll know you won't be leaving any power on the table vs an off the shelf cam, but also keeping driveability to what you want it to be.
