Default Will I be okay with this Cam??
I just bought a NIB cam from a local member on here. Its the TR224/227 114 LSA. On Thunder Racings website, it says this cam is for supercharged and nitrous applications. My car just has bolt ons and thats all i ever plan for it. I got the cam and springs etc for a really good price so i couldnt pass it up. Is this cam okay for just bolt ons as well? and how is it going to affect my car if its not supercharged or sprayed?? I know its more lift on the exhaust side but what does this translate to as far as driveablity and whatnot? any input will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Itll run fine in an NA car, and have a smoother idle is all.

The smaller "blower/nitrous" cams have very little or no overlap, hence the wider LSA.

You would gain very little power I think installing a different "N/A" cam from what you have.

It might have a slightly choppy idle, but its not going to be anything wild.

Since you said all you were planning were "bolt ons" and you have a blower cam, maybe its time to pick up a slightly used ProCharger to go hand and hand with that camshaft?

Cmon man, after all...it is a "bolt on"
