good setup

ok i need everyones advice possible. this is the setup i am looking at. a 228R cam, with 1218 springs. its my DD in the summer, it has LT headers, lid, cut out, A4. im lookin for a good fun streetable cam, but yet will have that nice choppy cam sound to it. i also take it to the track once or twice a month. if you think a different cam would do the trick lett me know. thanks guys

i have that cam on a 112 lsa and i love it. you really should get a stall first though because you will have alot more fun with the stall imo.

i plan on getting a stall, but since it is winter and this is a bigger project, i figure since im not driving it right now that ill do the cam swap during my auto class. plus i can get help with timing and stuff. does the setup make good power? and what size stall you have?

that cam is gonna need imo at least a 3000 stall to have good drivability. i have a yank 3600. my numbers are in my sig. no track times yet but it runs like a beast!

Ive seen cams much bigger than that one in daily drivers. The tuner makes all the difference in that. Some Comp 918's rated to .625 lift should be just fine.
