I need a good healthy cam with great power under the curve for my bolt on 2001 camaro. I would like to stay in the 228-236 duration... The car is a t-56 car with a 3.23 gear, the rear cam out of an auto and I do no plan on putting a gear in. I don't want a cam that makes a ton of peak power, I have been down that road in the past and want to avoid that. There seem to be a ton of cams out at the moment with all the new lobes and such that perform well with stock cubes and head. Does anyone have a suggestions as to what I should be looking for?

I was thinking about one of the EPS or HKE grinds... but I am looking for opinions and feedback. Let me know!

I liked my LS6 Hot cam I had for a while, kinda miss it now...

If you want to stay with the 228 you could look at the new 228/228 from TSP I dont think it on their website yet but they have a thread about it in the dyno section.

Hot cam is a little too small for my liking... I do want to make good power. I have looked at the 228R and I was impressed, but I think there may be a few cams out there in the 230 range that would make some nice torque down low and make driving a blast. Then again, I kinda want to steer away from "typical" cams that most people use. My best bet would probably be a custom spec from one of the sponsors...

More info would be greatly apppreciated! Dyno sheets and feedback would be great.

I run the 228R, great cam, great under the curve power! Streetability is awesome, has good torque down low but still pull hard from 3k on up. I run 3.73 gears and it works out really well for DD. If you want torque go with a custom grind similar to the torquer v2.

I have also looked at the Torquer cams... I know a few people that run them and they make great power down low. Would you mind posting a dyno sheet, if you have one?

Were set to go on the dyno after a clutch swap! I would have to download my 02 z28 dyno without a tune and 3400 stall and 228R put down 356 hp with the converter unlocked.

+1, great cam. My car put down 400hp, 375tq through a Yank 3600 stall. Car has run a best of 11.66 @ 116 full weight with 3.23 gears, and on 17in M/T drs. Driveability is great and pulls hard to 6600.

I am a fan of the 228r as well. If you have some cash to spend however; I would look into Tony Mamo's "Blue Pill" package. AFR 205 heads milled to your specs with all the fixins and a 224/228 cam. Consistently putting down 450whp and that would be a street beast and drive like stock.

Thanks for the input guys! Keep it coming... track numbers, hp numbers and dyno sheets will really help me make my decision. Like I said, I want a nice fat torque curve with a wide powerband. If I go with a shelf cam then it will probably be the 228R or the Torquer v3

You cant go wrong with the TR 224 camshaft. Great for daily driven cars. If you want a step bigger the 230/224 cam wouldn't be a bad choice. Here is a link to the cams. Both of those have a link to a dyno graph.

that new 228 cam from TSP, or preferably a custom grind cam.

I have a custom Comp Cam in 228 230 .588 .591 112. And it gives me some serious low end !

I love this cam. It makes good power and once I hit 100mph it pulls hard.

.
The reverse split cam that TR just suggested would be pretty bad *** too. Its a cam that does really well without the use of aftermarket heads. I've seen some pretty serious numbers out of those cams.

what about "streetsweeper" or "tigershark" cam from ed curtis? usually make good under the curve power for a street car.

Those are excellent cams, thrift through some of the older threads on the streetsweeper and you can find some good info.
