Default Need a little info on this cam

224"/228" .586"/.581" 112LSA

it's going in an m6 with QTP's. It is the FM5 cam from futral, just worries me b/c i have never heard of it. It is not my daily driver, but i don't want to worry about fly cutting.

I am going to run it with stock 241 casting heads. Figured i will go cam only then slowly work my way up to an all bore twin turbo. Dont want to jump to fast. It's just this cam seems to have good street manners.

what springs are you going to use? With a good tune that cam should be very streetable

probably some 918's, lift isn't to extreme compared to current cams. probably some titanium retainers to prevent valve float. Do you think i will need them. My car pretty much has every bolt on in the book other than a pulley and electric w-pump. How does that tsp cam handle you have there.
