Then why would you want a big cam bro? That doesn't make any sense. You drive your car 90% on the street but want the biggest cam you can find? I am not being a dick but you need to do some research on here to what having a big cam entails. Read the Stickies! You put a big cam in there, then it is not going to be a street car, it will be a track car. No drivability!

I like the G5x2 I have. Good street/strip cam. Not too big, not too small. 232/240 112

You can street anything depending on your tolerances.....

Streetability is subjective, so I would hook up with your local Car club and drive around in some of their big cammed cars so you can make your own decision.

it's like choosing a fantasy football team ... you can speculate all you want but will never know til it's done

get recommendations, talk to the sponsors

for cams bigger is definitely not always better ... be realistic (HONEST) on your goals too

most important: find the best tuner you can get to

for some a trex or texas giant is streetable ... for others the 224 and 228s are the way to go ... totally subjective to your personal taste (and driving style)

Just get a custom grind! Anybody that ever posts a thread "whats the biggest dd cam" never gets a straight forward answer. It's kind of hard to give an accurate answer because peoples perceptions of what is a daily driver cam varies like the the weather!!

ya i guess everyone has their own opinion on cams. i guess i will just try to go with a some what bigger cam. i think if i went with a 383 stroker and 410 gears i could probly do an ms3 maybe. that would be sick

Why are you stuck on getting a bigger cam?

Why not get a cam that matches what your setup will consist of and will be intended for?
