224r cam 35^ hp?, Sound stockish on 114 lsa? Ok guys I am looking for a cam that will get me some good gains in the 220-228 duration range, sound like stock with the idle raised to about 1000 rpm or so, make power down low, and be common enuf I can get by on a mail order tune. Bryan at pcmforless has always done my tunes and kicks *** for a mail order tuner! I had a professional tuner do a tune on one of my cars after he tuned it mailorder and he could only pick up 5 hp with it and said it was almost nuts on. He has also tuned cammed cars for me before and has done a great job and I never have drivability issues and they made great power, but I want the cam to be common enuf so he won't have any troubles getting it down. I'm thinking a 224r on 114lsa seems to fit my goals more than anything, but would like to see if you guys agree. My main thing is I want it to sound pretty close to stock if I raise the idle up to 1000rpm or so so people can't tell it has a cam in it.

My TR224/224 112 has a nice lope to it, nothing extreme though. The lope was more extreme through a LM exhaust; in fact, I was getting hassled so much by LEO I switched to Hooker catback.
Personally, the 112 LSA version is perfection to me. I know I'd be disappointed with a 114.
When I was shopping cams I told everyone what I was looking for, and PREDATOR-Z recommended the TR224/224 112 LSA. I couldn't be happier. I'm sure PREDATOR-Z knows that something like the 224/220 116 is exactly what you're looking for.

I used the have the thunder racing 224 cam on a 114. With all the bolt ons, I had 370 RWHP and it didnt have much lobe. I sounded near stock and had graet manners.
Then I sent with a 228R on a 114 with AFR heads and a FAST 90/90 system. The car has lobe, and actually more lobe sound because how I tuned it, but I have just over 450 RWHP with 3.90 gears.
click on the attached to see how it sounds on the dyno and at idle:

Ran 11.2x at 120 mph with it in full trim.

Lol if I'm driving you nuts imagine how I feel. I've never been so sure about so me different cams and than end up changin my mind every time. I'm pretty postive I'm getting damn close. I KNOW it's going to be in the 220-224 range with a 114 or 116 lsa. Really I am narrowed down to the 224r on 114 or 116 lsa. If I closed my cutout and ran it through my magnafow I bet it would be damn hard to tell if it had a cam or not.

The old LPE GT2-3 cam would work okay for what you want too. They pop up on the Vette forums a lot unused. I think new they are still pricey($430???). With stock rockers they don't lope at all. Two guys here gained about 2 tenths and 1-2 mph average on their post 01 Z06 cars.
