If anybody has any sound clips of those cams or cams that you think would be good post em up ! I have looked around for some clips but have not found very many... PLEASE HELP...thanks

224 is a great DD. i have a 228 and i would daily drive it. but, the car is way to low and the race seats are a pain to get in and out of

I think I have the exact same cam as you @ 228/232 111 +1 XER. Good to hear you like it. I did alot of research and decided on the specs myself. I just got done installing it along with a set of dart heads, .040 cometics, pacesetters, LS6 intake, pulley and bigger injectors. Spent today getting it to idle. It idles good and you can tell it has a cam in it but it's not so outrageous that I wouldn't daily drive it. Which is what I wanted. I think it's going to be a great street setup.

I have a Comp XR277HR 224/228 cam that was from my old 346 combo. Will sell it for a reasonable price. The cam makes good power, 2000 - 6800 rpm range and it is very streetable . PM me if your interested.

Chef, I'm thinking about going back with that 224/228 cam as I had one a few years back. What are the rest of the specs on yours? I believe mine was 224/228 581/581 112+2 XER, not for sure and don't know the grind #.

you definitely can never go wrong with a 224 cam for sure. its proven itself so many times as a good street, daily driver cam!! but i would also take a look at the patriot 226 cam.. i like what i have been seeing out of that cam...

Is that a sponsor cam or custom?

for a DD thats not looking to be the fastest track car but be a great street car a 224/228 cam is a great choice. I put down 452rwhp and 408rwtq with ported and milled 241 heads threw a 12 bolt with 4.30 gears and a heavy driveshaft with that cam. My numbers would have been even better with the stcok rear. There have been many that haven't made as much going with a bigger cam . My car has a stock idel and drives great on the street. But there are so many new cam designs that make more . I did my H&C in 2003 . My combo makes great power but I'm tired of it and going with a huge DD cam to get the most out of it at the track

224 112 here. My first LS1 cam and chose this because I read how great it is etc so I went with it. Its true its a great LITTLE cam and makes good power. Driveability? Well I guess I was afraid of the big lift of LS1 cams in general comparing to sbc's vs radical'ness if you will. This cam is sooooo mild I could handle a way bigger cam for DD use its very driveable and fuel efficient too. That being said I dont believe its nec to go huge so if I could do it over I'd get 224/228 or a 230 ish cam. I dont think it would be undrivable at all.

i love my 224/228 cam on a 110+2 LSA....Lift is .581/.588 so its not a v.spring killer. I see you are going with a 3200 stall, this cam would be Ideal with your setup!
