New cam? how big? I plan on putting in a new cam this summer with timing chain, full MTI valvtrain upgrade pkg., MTI underdrive pulleys, MTI polished TB, and tuning at MTI. I dont really plan on putting in a new clutch in unless it absolutely needed one. The current mods i have are in my sig, only bolt-ons.
I have planned on putting in the MTI X1 230 cam. I dont know if its a little too big and i was wondering where my drivability would go with this cam. The C2 224 cam seems a little too small, and the G1 228 cam is right in the middle.
I figured the X1 cam wouldnt be too bad with the stock clutch, i guess i could slip it a little and work it around town and it should be fine on the freeway. I dont intend to take it hard from a start becuase of my stock rear and stock clutch.
Any advice or experience on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Such as drivability, approx. dyno #'s, if it pulls harder up top or all the way through the powerband, etc. and any potential problems with my current setup.
Thanks for your time.

X-1 cam is really nice, especially with ported heads. If you plan on running stock heads, you might make a little more power with the G-1 though...it's really a nice cam.
