I need an opinion on a cam heads setup.
I need an opinion on a cam heads setup. Alright so my buddy has a bone stock 99 formula and is dead set on having 400rwhp with stock or very near stock driveability.
He will be running a vigilante 3200 stall, dynamaxx longtubes with their catted Y-pipe, LS6 manifold, Ported TB, and whatever heads and cam will give him the power he is looking for. I have a 224/230 .581/.592 114LSA that I am getting ready to pull out of my car and suggested him picking that up for cheap off me and tossing a set of AFR 205's and he would have his goals met with excellent streetability for a daily driver. I think he seems to think it is too big. He seems to think the GM hotcam will give him his results but I dont see why he wouldn't go a little bigger. Any input would be appreciated!

he is dead set on having completely stock driveability with a h/c/i setup and 400rwhp. Has anyone thought about the TR cheater cam and AFR's with the other mods listed?

Checkout the new TSP 228 camshaft, it makes a little bit more power than the previous 228R camshaft. Combine that with something like the PRC Stage 2.5 LS6 heads, or the PRC 215 heads & you'll have a awesome combo! Here's the dyno sheet comparing the camshafts

If he wants something with Stock driveability, I would go with the cheater head/cam setup. He would maintain stock driveability and achieve his horsepower goals. The setup consists of the AFR 205 heads and our CheaTR or LS2 CheaTR camshaft.
I saw that package awhile back and told him to check into it. His dad owns a circle track performance shop so he can get the heads for pretty cheap so I suggested doing the afr 205's with the cheaTR cam. I know the results that I see on the website are through stock exhaust and manifolds, but does anyone have results with this setup using longtubes and catback? Also were the results through an auto or a manual? How would the cheaTR cam work with my old Vig 3200 that he will be using?

im not sure the numbers on a full exhaust car but im pretty sure that set up had a fast intake too. i have a 226 with stock heads and put down 340rwhp and im running 12.1 with a 1.8 60ft. my cam drives like stock for the most part too

Here is a graph of a car we did with heads and a CheaTR camshaft. It was a 6 speed car and had a set of the Thunder Racing 1 3/4" Headers and ORY Pipe.
