I am a huge fan of the TR224. It's been around since forever, has proven solid gains with or without heads, it's super easy to tune and can be daily driven without issues if you so choose.

Should get an '02 M6 car in the 375-390rwhp range with LT headers and stock heads.

The TR224 is a 224/224 duration and can be had on a 112 or 114 LSA. If you want the most possibile lope, get the 112. Even the 114 has a nice cammed sound, but the 112 is much more noticeable IMO. I beleive the lift is .563/.563 for either version.

These specs make for a great street cam, power will be great at any rpm point and you don't have to rev the motor excessivly high to hit peak power. Also, the lift is modest enough that valvespring life will be good.

Can't go wrong with Thunder Racing, IMO. Looks like a good package to me.

Depending on what you are doing and looking for out of the car, we can get you setup with a shelf cam or a custom cam if we don't have anything that will meet your goals. You're more than welcome to shoot us a PM or give us a call and go over your setup and get something setup for you.
