Fi Cam
I guess you should decide if you want more midrange power or more high end power that'll determine which cam will be better suited to your needs.
I'm running a more aggressive cam but I think it will work out nice for my needs. (224/230)

I'm sure I am missing something.
FWIW my 230/236/115 idled great and it did not sound that big. The current 236/246//114 is very very lopey.

I was extremely surprised with the result's.If I find the dyno graph I'll post what a 220 Cam can do Here is the graph.
built 346
AFR 205 heads out of the box.
220/224 Cam
D1 at 14lbs
93 octain pump gas
Kooks headers
M6
97 Vette
The first pull of the street tune was 720hp at 6000rpm but I detuned it as far as possible for the customer to get use to it --12 degree's of timing -in this graph

You want something REEEEEAL small Ed !! 
Just kiddin', I think you're on the right track with the 222/226 .563/.569 114 LSA, or maybe 115 LSA.
The extra cubes should make that cam pass smog no problem. BTW, my cam is a Cam Motion cam (still using the 222/224 .571"/.571" 114).

Thats the thing with his and my motors...we have a 383 not a 346 so i would imagine if a small cam would work really well then a slightly larger cam would do the same thing in a bigger motor....
Have folks passed with 224//230 cams?
