damn, you'll be making some great power with this cam . consider the x1 cam too, its similar to the 230 and puts out great numbers as well.

with your 4.10's and a good tune the car should be very streetable.

For Stage II heads, look into the TSP 231/237 cam also. Very streetable.

I have this cam with stock 3.42's and dyno tunned and it is perfectly fine to drive, even as a daily driver with the 3.42's. With the 4.10's it will be even better.

The cam makes great power. I dynoed 403rwhp with stock heads. The cam peaked at about 6200-6300 and makes gobbs of torque. It will also work great with stage 2 heads probably anywhere from 430-450rwhp with the right tune.

i love my TR230. i got the numbers in the sig with it and stock heads. i'm adding a set of AS stage 2 heads and a ported throttle body and am hopping to get above 440rwph. it is a great cam and with a good tune is still very streetable. you might also consider the tr224 since this is your daily driver. i drive my car daily and sometimes i wish it didn't lope quiet as hard. it can get obnoxious at times since my exhaust is so loud. but, most the time i love it.

Hey Kit

You are going to have a kickass setup .Great choice on the heads also.
You will make some kickass #`s on your m6.

offaxis,

i'm very excited about the new setup. i think it is going to be a great performer at the track. it's just to bad the heads won't be done for about a month but it is well worth the wait.

the numbers you got from you car (along with many other cars) is one of the reasons i decided to go with AS heads. AS heads and the tr230 seem to always make killer numbers.

How about this cam for good low end torque? I have a very big cam in my car and want to swap it for some much needed low end torque.

this is one of the reasons i went with this cam. i have never seen a "big cam" that has a better torque curve than the tr230. it's almost the same as the tr224 when you overlay them.
