Default Better cam for d1sc.

232/236 .575/.578 114lsa
224/227 .563/.569 114 lsa

Just wondering which cam would be better in your guys opinion. I know the top one is bigger but which do you guys think would be best.

Depends on the CID of your motor. For stock, I would go with the 224/227 .563/.569 114 lsa, but on a 115 LSA

I run FMS/Cam Motion 230/236//115/+2.

Duration makes power, but your power peak might (potentially) be kind of high with the 232 cam. How how do you plan to shift?

Why those 2 cams??????
For a stock cube motr i woulndt go over 230 on the exhaust....... so a
224/230 with .570ish lft and .580ish on the exhaust and on a 114LSA so not to bleed off any boost and you will probably shift around 62-6400 rpm's.....

well the second one is one that thunder sells, I have talked to some people who said this is a sweet blower cam. Im new to this whole game so I want to have the right combo. I guess id shift at around 62-6300 Id have to see where my powerband is after i get it tuned. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think that 232 cam would need to be shifted quite a bit higher than 6200 to justify running it. I shifted mine at 7100. I made peak hp at 6900 when they left off on the dyno (746rwhp).

my rev limiter is 6800 and my power hits it like a brick wall, I could go right to 7400 im sure

With my 230/236 my rev limiter is 7000 and i pull to 6600.... that 232 cam would be to big for you........ I would go with another cam then the 224/227.... you can call Allen at FMS and get a custom cam ground for the same price.
Thats just my .02 though
