Help me decide on the cam

NOTE: I did post this on the Engine thread, but didnt get the answers i was looking for... SO thats why im reposting here, i hope u guys can help.

I’m getting a D-1SC at the end of this year. Anyways I wanted to get a Cam for now to give me more power than what I have now and will work well when I install the SC. I did a lot of searching and I found few cams I like and I think they are good with a SC'd 346 car. I’m going to list few cams.... please help me decide on which cam to get.

The cams are:
1- TR 224/227 .563/.569 114 LSA
2- Comp cams 218/224 .527/.534 114 LSA
3- Cartek 218/222 .562/.562 113 LSA
4- Cartek 222/226 .567/.567 113 LSA
5- LPE GT1 218/229 .560/.560 113 LSA
6- Futral FM6 226/230 .576/.580 114LSA
7- Futral FM7 224/230 .587/.593 114LSA

So can you please guys help me decide. I’m getting the cam tomorrow or Monday at the latest. So I really need help choosing one of them. I want the most power N/A for now and later when boosted. BY THE WAY, if u have any other cams in your mind feel free to mention it.

Thank you.

Go with the 218/222, but with a 114lsa...

My cam in my 372 motor is a 214/218 .540/.550 114lsa

Re: Help me decide on the cam

I like the Thunder racing cam and the futral cams. I have a simiar to the thunderracing but not as much lift. Id say pick one of thos three. You'll net better gains with those three cams. And being that the mojority of those cams are on 114lsa you shouldnt have a problem with losing your expensive boost through your exaust.

I just bought the FM7 114 cam after talking to TR, Cartek and Futral. I think this cam will scream with a blower and gives great power N/A.

Those are nice cams, but i think they wont give that much increase N/A since im going to drive the car with the cam for almost 6 months or soo until i get my SC. I bought the FM7 114 cam and that thing will give me nice gains. Im hoping 400rwhp.
