Cam selection I am looking to get 400rwh with the install of a cam that would be suitable for street/strip use after it is tuned. I would also like a nice choppy idle after install too. The mods that I currently have that make power are: Pacesetter lt's, TSP ory, SLP Loudmouth catback, Whisper lid. What kind of cam should I be looking at to go with stock heads for now? With the cam, I would also be getting springs, pushrods, timing chain. I have been looking at all of teh posts about cams, but I am stii undecided at which one to go with. Any suggestions woudl be appreciated.

TSP torquer2 232/234 duration 595/598 lift on a 112 will net you over 400rwhp and one hell of a lopey car. After tuning the drivability will not be an issue especially if you have a 6spd. a 224/228 on a 114 would not have much of a lope to it at all, the cam is way too small.

When you get 400+ HP, people will take notice, no matter how smooth it idles.

yeah i may not be at 400 HP with my cam but do your self a favor and talk to a mathematician about why tq is used to derive hp, you want tq not hp
"On modern day dynamometers horsepower is a calculated value. It's important to remember the dyno measures torque and rpm and then from these calculates horsepower"
