I'm thinking of swapping my cam for more power,but i dont want to lose a ton, of lowend,(keep nice midrange)and i would like 15rwhp(or more) over what i have now to start to make it worth while. I'm an A4(tcissf 3500 stall) Tsp stage 2.5 5.3 heads,tr224/112cam,ported fast 90/90.I put down 417rwhp 407rwt.I dont want ahuge lift where i have to swap springs often,although i do have dual springs.here are a few cams I'm thinking of:

T2 232/234 .595/.598 112 lsa
G5x1 228/232 .588/.574 112lsa
f13 230/232 .595/.585 112lsa
thunder split pattern 230/236 .592/.606 112lsa
custom(pred) 227/230 .629/.600 112+4lsa
or
reverse split cams
MTI x1 230/227 on a112
TR 230/224 on a 111+4
custom(pred)xe-r 228/226 .588/.585 108lsa(hows tuning with a 108?)
230/228 .612/.588 110-1 (110lsa/111ICL
will one of these cams give me what i want and keep decent lowend and 15rwhp(or more) or should i go big like an Ms3. Would going to true dual exhaust be an easier option of getting more N/A?
or if its not worth it and spray what i have.
thanks
john

You would sacrifice a little drivability if you went with a bigger cam but if you tagged your present set up with a 100-125 shot, it's gonna make some great power. Tune it for some spray, my op.

most people tell me its not worth the cam upgrade and i should just spray. I just want a more N/A power,butif I'll oly get 10rwhp or less I'll go for the spray

whether i go with a different cam or spray,I'll tune no questions about it.

All that work for only 15rwhp. Your barely gonna feel that at all. And the low ned you loose is gonna make the car feel slower and reduce drivability. How about a set of 1.8 ratio rockers. You'd probably make your goal with those with no change in drivability.

That has crossed my mind,but thunder racing does not recommened 1.8 rockers for their cams,due to the agressive ramp

i agree with them also. why go threw the trouble of a cam change when you can just change a jet-size to whatever you want ?

but i do understand you want to go a little bigger n/a. you should get a little more than 10rwhp if you decide go with those cams you listed . your current set up seems it should be strong enough for a high to mid- 11 second on motor ...right ?

What is your exhaust setup??? Did I miss that??

I guess you always want a little more N/A,atleast in my case

I would look at these two. And then spray it. If you are going to spray for sure, look at the thunder cam a little stronger. JMHO
