Default Cam Advice

I am planning on doing a cam swap soon and wanted to get your input on what i should run. My current setup is a '98 Z28, A4, TCI SSF3500, SLP LTs, ORY, SLP LM, BMR LCAs, SLP strut brace, 3.23s

I have future plans of doing a turbo or procharger kit. I wanted something that will work well with and without FI.

What powergains should I expect out of a cam swap? Also, what upgrades to the valvetrain need to be done?

Thanks!
David

with a stall, like that you could use a cam in the 23x's but whether you go turbo, or S/c can make it a hard choice, i believe turbo cams are reverse split, because the turbo pushes enough exhaust gasses as is........

I've been leaning towards the TR224. Go with 112 or 114 lsa? What will i notice between the two?

It appears that i'm going to have to swap cams anyways when I go the FI route... I will go ahead and run the cam that works best with my current setup.

Also, how much rwhp do you think the TR224 will add to my setup?

Thanks for all of your help!

You can run the TR224 114 for both Turbo and Supercharger.
It fits your converter shift extentions, and you should see a good 30+ rwhp
