mild cam for my car...?? Want to go with a mild(by that I mean it is my daily driver so I want it to be streetable) cam that puts the most power to the ground without being a dead-giveaway that I have a cam. I am going for a sleeper car in other words. I have a 2000 SS M6 and will have full exhaust (LT's and all the way back). I was thinking about a tr224 114 or the FMS FM13 with Comp 918 springs and titanium retainers? Does that sound good? By the way I don't plan on ever getting heads or anything like that.....

I am running the TR224 114 cam and it is great. No starting or idling issues at all and it runs strong. If you want a mild cam that performs well then this is the cam for you.

I couldn't agree more. That cam is mild enough to not draw attention, but it will make some killer power both high and low.

I vote for the TR224, its a great all aroud cam.Ive been running it for a while and have made some good numbers.
BTW if you were to go with the FM13 you will need dual springs.

I vote for the 224 as well. Whatever you do keep the LSA @114 or higher. My car does has a "bit" of a sound at idle and pulls much harder up top. You will feel the throttle response soften under 2,000 rpm though. The gear swap fixed that problem!

I'd second a 224. I have the 112, idles a little hectic, but just enough to sound sexy as opposed to being a P.I.T.A in my opinion. 114 would probably be fine too, less top end from what I understand, but even better idle.

I know everyone will get different results but if I have full exhaust, the 114 (and other mods that go with a cam), and some other minor bolt-ons what sort of gains do you think I will see? I want to be able to run 12's consistently.....
