i think the cam is a great boost cam, but maybe a little small. You could go bigger and reach your goals with less boost

i think thats on the small side, im running a, .570 .610 236/244 on a 112 its an old lpe boost cam. it did well when the car was a 6 speed street car, and has done well now that the car has a th400. i made 670 to the wheels thru a th400 and s60 @14 psi. pump gas and no meth. and this is with a 75mm turbo. so no, id get somethung bigger!

what tranny? whats the ultimate goals for the car, and dont kid yourself. dont do it twice, do it right the first time! but if 600 is all your after that cam will prolly be fine.

my goal is 600+ is your cam specs with 1.6rr.Thinkit could be a good cam with a 114lsa? the cam i asked about would come out to 220/220 .580/.580 114 LSA with 1.6rr

I know its a different engine but im running a 228/228 .588/.588@114 and it has excellent street manners. Your cam sounds a little on the small side. I would stick with something closer to mine or at least a 224/224.
