What you guys think? I have an 02' C5 w/ Bolt Ons
I was looking for the same thing. Although considered here to be mile, my short list was:

TR 224
TR Old Man Cam
LPE GT2-3
MTI Stealth II
Vinci Boss II

I don't want to lose my low end, since the car spends most of its time there. I would love a lopey idle, but am concerned with the evironmental police.

You need to further refine what you are looking for, a budget and then the number of cams on your list will start to shrink so you can make a decision.

Good luck.

Also have a set of comp 921"s and ti. retainers with same mileage. If your interested let me know what you think is a fair price.
We are on the right track for Novi, we have two cams and two sets of valve springs for him that he could buy from one of us. The problem is we have one smaller cam, bigger than what he has, and one larger one that may be alittle aggressive for his preferences. He is all set with an excellent choice of springs from J.N.F. or myself. Does anyone have a cam in between the ZO6 cam and J.N.F.'s X1 that they could sell Novi that is not a 112LSA, but a 114 like the TR? I keep thinking though, any cam in between, Novi will need better pushrods, so it will be hard to spare him that expense unless someone has a set. It is all speculation at this point until we hear from Novi.

Default Best Streetable Cam?

Many good cams have been mentioned on this thread however, I assume that someone else is going to do the cam swap for you, right? I would find a good tuner in your area that you trust and use his suggestion on a camshaft, since he is the one that will be tuning it. BTW I run a 224/228 112 and have been very happy with it.

224/224 .563 114lsa with dual crane spring kit...

I've got about 12 k miles on the car with this kit(34K total on car) and its a nice baby cam...

Great everyday driver and nice improvement in performance.

I'm very pleased with the choice I made. I'd recommend it to any one describing they want a performance improvement and to still have a great daily driver.

Hope this helps...

I have a TR 224/224 in my car now and like it alot, very streetable cam. I was going to go smaller at first then said oh well, and i am glad i did. I know some people with some big cams like a G5x3 in an everyday car.
