Default Is this a good CAM for a stock head?

COMP CAM

INTAKE & EXHAUST .050" DURATION

LOBE CENTER SEP = 114.6 CAM DEG
VALVE OVERLAP = -9.1 CRANK DEG

INTAKE

VALVE OPENING = -4.5 'BTDC
LOBE CENTER = 113.8 ' ATDC
VALVE CLOSURE = 41.3 'ABDC
DURATION = 216.8 CRANK DEG
MAX CAM LIFT = .30728 IN.
NET VALVE LIFT = .52238 IN.
LOBE 'AREA' = 23.71 IN * DEG

EXHAUST

VALVE OPENING = 47 'BBDC
LOBE CENTER = 115.3 'BTDC
VALVE CLOSURE = -4.5 'ATDC
DURATION = 222.5 CRANK DEG
MAX CAM LIFT = .31197 IN.
NET VALVE LIFT = .53035 IN.
LOBE 'AREA' = 24.66 IN * DEG


Well what do you guys reckon? Whats makes a good street torquer CAM with a std. head? Would this generate more torque than the stocker?

the tr224 112 would be a better bet, though that 216/222 would be a great starter cam and be pretty maintanance free.

That's good news. I'm looking at the same cam. I don't want to do valve springs every 10k (or even 50k if I can avoid it). And, I drive this one daily.

You are going to have alot comments here about the cam being too small...Colonel recently posted in the transmission section about torque convertor sand cam combinations. I would go there and read the post very enlightening. However, my experiences are that is a descent cam if you are just looking for a nice streetable performance mod...alot of people on this board will say go bigger, but the key is what and how do you want to achieve??? I used a 221/221 560/560 114lsa for a year with great results very streetable in a a4, you could tell it had a cam, and ran a 12.20@114 on the track cam only.

Good Luck

Is that the popular comp cam thunder has listed also? If so & IIRC MTI told me over the phone it has less aggressive lobes than the TR series, but more than the XE-like hammer cams. IMO it would be an awesome street [sleeper?] cam with stock-like characteristics and heaps of tq.

I think the TR 224/224 is a very good beginer cam. If you care about streetability, if you don't go bigger, and get Edit.
