On another note to the OP those new lobes from eps, LSR or LSL lobes whatever they are. They have been having good numbers produced lately, also another selling point is the valetrain noise is suppose to be alot quieter. Maybe something worth checking out!
You want a cam that makes the most average power from 2000-5500 rpms and will carry the curve high enough to recover well at each shift. Selecting a cam that trades power under 3500 rpm for power from 5500-7000 rpms is not the way to go.
It will not be a popular choice at all, but if that is truly your goal, a 220 cam is perfect, if you get the valve events right. Anything over a 224 cam is only letting ***** envy have a greater influence over your choice than the statement I quoted above.

Great info guys this thread is helping me with my cam selection greatly.
Thats exactly what im looking for 2000-6200 tops power band on a cam, nothing you have to spin the motor to crazy lengths to make hp. From what I am gathering here TV2 may not be the cam for me. I just didnt want to go too small then regret my decision later , I have read alot of that in other threads.

i am thinking about going with a 224/228 .598.598 110LSA cam right now, seams to be conservative enough for the street yet has the lift for great potential. what do you guys think?

Would say a 228r be in the area I am looking for ? 2000-6200 tops power band on a cam with the intake being a ls6 with a ported tb. Eventually I will be stepping up to a fast 90
set up but probably not for some time. I also like the look of that T/A 7935 posted.

or maybe a bigger split of 224/230 .598 /.598 110+2LSA with comp cam LSA or LSR lobes. i am gonna call comp and ask them if they can build this cam for me, and if i should keep the embedded advance or use a 110+0 instead.

On the street a 224/224 cam is very hard to beat. I'd say it would be better than a 228r. Most bigger cam cars have to play catch up on the street until over tripple digits.
I had my cam specced by a pro (not some internet guru). I got everything I wanted, more power everywhere over stock. "Under the curve" power is pretty strong. Custom 224 here, should be over 430 rwhp now with ported fast 85mm and underdrive. I will find out friday. All done with LS7 clutch, ebay headers, unported 243s with 5 angle valve job and .020" mill (11:1 comp). I consider this a real "torque" cam unlike the torquer series of cams ( non torquer ). Check this thread I started https://ls1tech.com/forums/multimedi...rve-power.html

Lift is over .600. Cam was designed for a daily driver with 3.42 gears. Lobes are easy on springs but I run high quality PAC 1518 single beehives. It will put down 430 rwhp friday, I'm confident.
I went with the torquer 2 (232/234 .595/.598 114) for my new motor....6.0 with stock 317s with a good valve job, I have all bolt-ons, Kooks, 3600 stall and a Performabuilt level II tranny. I hope to make 400 RWHP.
