Help me pick a cam Alright guys its time for me to buy a cam. What would be something good for what i want, i want it to be driveable since i do drive this car everyday, however i dont drive it really far. but i want something that makes good power throughout the RPM range, im kinda afraid of having to spin the cam up really high since i have 118,500 miles on the motor, and i need it to last this season. Also i want something thats gonna sound rowdy as hell at idle. So if anyone has any recomendations i would really appreciate it, also if you can give me specs on the cam that would be awesome guys.
Thanks
JacobK

the cheatR cam from thunder racing might be a good choice also, not a big cam but you will notice the difference, and its the same powerband as stock, that what I plan on using for my daily driver

If you want nitrous along with your other requirements, I would suggest either the GM hotcam or a 224/228 .581/.588 112lsa.
The reason I throw in the hotcam is because it fits your "rowdy" requirement, is a split duration for nitrous, and would not be too hard on your valvetrain (given your mileage).

224/228 - splits also help broaden the powerband. maybe on a cam that small with only 4* separation it wouldn't be too noticeable, but nonetheless.
i'm trying to work up a larger duration cam with 8* separation for a n/a motor, i think it will work well. scavenging is increased with a wide split..
