Default Help Me Pick Out A Cam

I had asked advise before a couple weeks ago but things have changed and I'm planning on ordering a cam in the morning. I plan on running it on nuts only.

Full Weight 2000 T/A M6

TSP Version 1.0 243's
Stock LS6 Intake
Ported TB and MAF
25% UD Pulley
LT/ORY/Borla
180 Stat
SLP Lid
3:73 Gears

I plan to drive this car everywhere so I don't want anything too radical but I welcome a choppy idle. I'm hoping to make 400ish RWHP.

I'm thinking the 228/228 or Torquer 2, Futral F12 ?

You shouldn't have any trouble making over 400whp with the Torquer 2. Those heads and a M6 should put down 430whp or so, maybe more.

Name:
Texas Speed 224/224 XE Camshaft
Item#:
25-224XE


TSP Custom 224/224, .566"/.566" Camshaft With Your Choice of Lobe Seperation.

1600-6400 RPM Power Band; This is an excellent all-around camshaft with excellent street manners. This cam will provide more mid-range power and slightly rougher idle over the 220/220 cam. Custom tuning required on automatic cars.

This camshaft typically gains approximately 30-35rwhp & offers good idle quality with wider lobe seperations such as 114 or 115
