Which Cam is the Most Fun on the Street? I know this is about like asking which cam is the best, so I'll narrow the candidates down a bit.
I'd like a mid-sized cam (no more than .580" lift) on a 112 LSA that has a nice, flat torque curve and gobs of power in the sub-6000 RPM range. I really have no desire whatsoever to spin my engine past 6500 RPM. My main goal is to make my car even more fun on the street.
Thanks,
Josh

Re: Which Cam is the Most Fun on the Street? Tr224, MTI T1, MTI C1 or C2, TR220 on 112 would all be good choices. For your <6000 range stick with the C1 T1 or TR220 IMHO. If I were you I would do the TR220/LS6intake/!cats and have fun with 60 more RWHP @ 6000RPM

Re: Which Cam is the Most Fun on the Street? TR230 with good tunning. I know its a little more than what you want, but just the sound will have a big *** grin on your face.

Re: Which Cam is the Most Fun on the Street? My TSP 220 sleeper cam is great. I went 120mph full weight at the vette shootout without heads, stock manifolds, and LS1 intake!

Re: Which Cam is the Most Fun on the Street? Yeah as everyone has said, TR224 or MTI C1.
The C1 gave me 370 lbft at 3000 rpm. That was street fun.
If I had to build a stock CI motor and drive it on the street, Id do the C1 all over again. It was *alot* of fun, without being hard to drive of without waiting for the power to hit.

Re: Which Cam is the Most Fun on the Street?
120mph with a 220 cam and stock heads/manifolds/intake????
y were u a second slower then the 120 should be?

Here is the run.......
60ft....2.002
1/8.....7.999/92.89
1/4.....12.179/119.95
All my runs at the vette shootout were from 12.6 to 12.1 in the 118-120 range. I have a few of the runs on tape, but lots of people were there to see it. Remember this is a 2000 hardtop corvette that is in the 3100lb area with no driver.
I'm sure the car is good for mid 11's with slicks but I care more about what it does in street trim.

Re: Which Cam is the Most Fun on the Street? Did your stock car really run those #s with that cam, or is that your ZO6 that ran that. Find it hard to believe that a stock vette with a few boltons can run 120 in the 1/4.Crs with all boltons and heads and cam dont hit that mph What gives .

Re: Which Cam is the Most Fun on the Street? i believe he did do this in texas. that certainly dosn't hurt his times any.
but anyway, on to the point. i have the tr230 and love it, however i would suggest for you something more like the tr224. while my car does have a very nice torque curve, i do spin it to 6600 rpms. the tr224 on a 112lsa sounds like exactly what you need.

Re: Which Cam is the Most Fun on the Street? I'm really loving my new TR224 112 over my previous LS6 bumpstick. Lotsa lowend torque makes for great street fun. Smashing the go pedal in first and second on F1s and you can burn them all the way thru second gear if your so inclined. I gotta get me some stickier tires! ASAP

Re: Which Cam is the Most Fun on the Street? All my mods are listed above. The car is NOT a Z06 its a hardtop/frc with the STOCK gearing. The car puts up the mph everytime, so it was not a freak thing. I'm running the comp 918 blue stripes.
