I need opinions on choosing a cam!

Sounds good as long as you don't have to pass emissions. You might want to check into some gears for that M6 car, though; otherwise you'll be using your clutch a lot to get off the line. 4.30 or 4.56 ought to do it for the bigger cams.

emissions wont be a problem. it seems like the 230/224 is a popular cam. thou it seems that this cam is a 3000-7000 rpm range. does anyone run the 226/226? and if so is my gearing ok for this cam. also what about a 227/224? thunder recommended this one also!

Re: I need opinions on choosing a cam!
just so you guys know i chose a comp cams 230/238 .592/.605 w/ titanium retainers, comp push rods, dual rev springs, and the gaskit kit. im also putting in the rollmaster double timing chain! i hope is going to work awesome! i figured the cam should be big enough!
