Default Cams, cams, cams! Thinking about mti c1 cam (hammer?)- anyone running it?

Considering that cam or the tr224 on a 112. I have a daily driver that won't see head work anytime soon. 6m with 4.11 gears (one day)

I have the hammer cam and think it is a great street car cam. It sounds nice but not like a top fuel car that most are going to . My car is full weight and with mild head work it runs consistent 11.80's and dips into the 70's regular with a best of 11.69 and runs 118 mph on average at full weight and fully loaded Ta on 16inch Nittos.

I have the C1 and I am very pleased with it. I drive 60+ miles a day and have had no problems. I think you will find it much to your liking. To bad I am not still in Carolina you could have checked mine out, I moved out to TX in May.

Thanks. I will admit, I loved the sound of my hotcam. I hope this thing has a discouraging idle to would be takers driving lesser units.

Anyone else got any feedback? Can I get away with a "hammer" spec cam and just valvesprings (no retainers)- planning on 4.10's and a predator. It seems the predator is worth the extra dough over a used hpp3.
