Ok.. by looking and searching this is what I have learned so far..
I will be running through a 3" catback with a magnaflow, no cutout, no cats, and a set of L/T's.. I have read that if you have a more "restictive" exhaust side then get a split cam.. correct?? or is my exhaust good enough to not worry about it..??

I want the really nice choppy idle but not an extremely large cam, so I should go for a 112 seperation or less.. right??

I am going to buy a stall to put in with the cam, probably looking at a 3200 with a 2.2'ish STR.. Any cam suggestions for that type of stall.. I have read tons about the TR234.. I think thats the name of it anyway, seems to be a great cam, but is it too much for my application?? I have 2:73 gears also.. I wouldnt have the money for a rearend for quite some time, so I am keeping the gears as they are the strongest of the 10 bolts.. (from what ive read)

So is there anyway to turn peoples heads while the car idles, real choppy, without going to a "wild" cam?? If such a cam exists please let me know about it so that I can research that paticular cam..
Everyone has their own perception of "wild" but hopefully you guys understand ruffly where I wanna be..
Thanks

112 will suffice for chop. But you can get a choppy cam and it can be worthless at the same time on the street or the strip. Most likely gonna have to up that stall if you want a choppy good cam.

the more split, the more lope

112 and under (110,109) the more lope

114 and higher (115,116) less lope

you will notice at idle an even duration cam on a 114 LSA, a split duration on a 112 you will notice more

Oh, I may be overstepping my boundaries here with expectations but who knows.. maybe I can acually have what I want.. I have also been reading with larger cams to replace the valve springs every 20ish thousand miles.. I will upgrade to good springs when I swap, but I would rather stick with something that doest require "regular" internal engine work.. As for the sall.. I have no problem bumping up to a 3500 .. just want to keep the STR at about 2.2 since 99% of the time it will be on street tires...

ttt.. anyone know the limits of lift without replacing springs regularly??

Well the 918's have carried many aftermarket cams to 15-20k with no issues. The load will not be as much after high mileage... So I would say change them out unless you are running the hotcam or something very small. BTW it has big cam chop to it (Hotcam). I personally would swap springs with cam change...anytime.

It is not necessarily the LSA that soley determines the lope. The lift and dur. are key factors as well.
