Default is this street-able

i am about to put a cam in my car. right now i have longtubes, off-road y-pipe, ported tb, ported maf. the cam is a 231/237 .598 lsa112, with duel springs and i am going to through on a pulley. will this set up work with stock heads? will it be street-able? like for a daily driver? will i get a nice sound out the back? and will it work with stock heads? what kind of power gain would i be looking at?

anyone that can help please post.
thanks

Will sure u gona gain some good power especially with your old setup , its a good combo as a start . anyways it will work fairly with your heads , probably u will be gaining 390to415 hp.

streetable , mmmmm !! u must ask some people who`v got this cam , although u would need dynos and track results to compare it with your results as a result to prove your pcm tune ..... etc.

From your sig I'm guessing your M6.

Mine has been a daily driver for a year and a half now.

You need a good tune to get everything out of the set-up.

FYI: I get 15 mpg city and 32 mpg highway.



I picked up 34 rwhp going from my TR 224 to this cam. Also understand that tuning is a HUGE factor in any aftermarket set-up.

Have fun!

oh yeah, plenty driveable... I had ORY for a while, but I couldn't stand the smell, so I went back to a catted y-pipe.

you're probably gonna want a set of 4.10s for your setup as the lobes aren't very aggressive with that cam and lack a little tq down low. it will still make good power though. also you didnt list a lid. i would invest in that and get a good tune and you'll be good to go.

very streetable. I drove this around for over a year without any gear changes. Just the stock 3.42's. it was fun for awhile, but gears really brought this cam to life. A night and day difference.

People don't get a good tune on their set-ups. This is why everyone complains about "low-end torque" in a lot of big cam posts.

I have NO problem passing at 2K rpm's in any gear with my stock 3.42's whatsoever
