Default Whats the best cam for.......

Whats the best cam as far as performance goes with the mods listed below on stock heads? I was told the Comp 220/220 563/563 on a 114 is the best for my application but I want opinions. Thanks!


SLP CAI, Holley PS, SLP MAF/bellow, SLP LM, Vig 3200, 3.73s, TR LTs, and Nitto Drags.

I had a 222/222 .563/.563 112lsa when I had stock heads, If I had to do it over again, I would do a 224/224 .585/.585 112lsa type of deal...

I did the valvesprings, retainers, and the pushrods deal when I did the cam as well.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Big Bos -what kind of mph gains did you get out of this cam. What did it idle at like 800, did you have any hot or cold starting problems?im thinking about getting this same exact cam with dyno tunning from Speed inc.

I really never got to track test that cam, or get a good # on it, I had 4.10's with street tires, didn't work out too well, but I got a BIG increase in power, I put down 360rwhp and 350rwtq, with no tuning, and FLP headers, and that cam...
