I have a comp 220 224 witha 112 lope.

Thing drives like stock with no change in gas milage. Just has a bit more lobe to it and its got a sweet tq curve.

but sometimes I wish I went just alittle biger as in a 224/228 or 228/228...They seem to ride just as good with a good tune.

Looks like I am going with the Streetsweeper. Anyone know how much FTI charges for the cam and how I can go about ordering it? I don't see an order link for just the cam on the website.

The Vengeance VRX3 is a good DD cam as well. I had it in my old Z28 and it made 395/377 with bolt-ons. The specs are 226/228. It had a really broad powerband and was very street friendly compared to the 230/236 in my SS.
