I was debating on making a thread or not, but I will kick my own butt if I bought the wrong cam and not be happy after reading on here the cam sticky, and about 20 threads for hours the past 3 days.

I have the ability to install everything, all tools, etc.. just need help on mostly the cam specs and what is out there that equals what I need.

*Parts I am buying:

A Dual Spring Kit for sure.
Hardened Chromoly Pushrods of course

*Vehicle driving:

I take it to work one or twice a week 20 mile trip each round trip, will see maybe 3 or 4 track times a year, occasional cruising from time to time.
Per year about 3-4k miles.


*Here is what I am looking for:

Choppy - very choppy idle
Low - Mid range power and tq mostly
Peak power around 6000 or so, I dont want to have to rev high to make the hp.

Basically looking for something with a stock power band but very nice increase in tq and hp, if it is possible

Ones I have looked into mostly from TSP

228r
224r

Right now my numbers are: 342 Horsepower, 341 Torque

Longtubes, ory, slp lm1, lid, filter.



My goal I guess is 380 hp, 380 tq, I rather have fairly equal increase vs. having like a 420 hp and 360 tq where I have to rev it high like around 6400-6500 or so just to get that hp number.

I will be putting on an underdrive pulley as well.


Thanks for your time.

Have Patrick G spec you a custom cam. I had him do that for me and he came back with a great looking cam. Just let him know what you want out of the car. I found this way a lot easier than trying to decide on one of the other hundreds of cams people run. Also, I like to be different and not run something everyone else has. Just my opinion, something to think about.

Thanks I will keep that in mind.

I am hoping to try and find maybe someone that has the same situation / concerns as me and has already maybe been through cams finding a good one that performs and maybe they could toss the information of where they got it and so forth.

any more suggestions out there.

I guess I just need to start emailing / calling places.

Good thread your looking for exactly what im looking for and about the same driving per year as I will be doing. I dont want a cam to realy spin over 6400-6500 to make the power.
Good thread hopfully more people chime in here and also go into mine. I didnt see this thread until I made one go figure

well i think a auto vs. m6 might require slightly diff. cams for optimal performance. since you have to worry about converter choice as well.

but I hope we both can get some real world user answers.


I am thinking about something like some sort of custom grind, but I just kinda threw those numbers of there since I dont totally understand everything at this pt.

228/228 .600 .600 with a lsa 110

dual springs, not sure of pushrod lengths since I see people using 7.400 and some 7.425's

I want mostly a flat tq curve from like 3500 to 6k
and hp just rising mostly in the mid peaking at about 6k
and I want a pretty choppy sounding idle.

this caught my attention seeing this thread
