Sorry it's a m6, where could I purchase one of these cams and do I need to change the pushrods, valve springs, and retainers to go with it? Oh another thing don't laugh, but what does all that mean(tr224-112lsa)?

tr= Thunder Racing (company that makes the cam)
224= the duration on both intake and exhaust
112lsa= 112* Lobe Seperation Angle

Thunder Racing is one of the board sponsors, just click on there logo at the right. You don't need to change the push rods, but it would be a good idea IMO. Use Comp 918 springs with the stock retainers or Titanium retainers.

Well since you are from Indiana and don't have to worry about smog, I will tell you to go bigger than a 224, especially if it isn't your daily driver. A lot of us Indiana guys started w/ the 224 but we have all went larger now. This Sunday my TR 224 is comming out to be replaced with a Futral Motorsports FM11. (228/230 .580 .591 112) Save yourself some money, and go bigger the first time!! Where is Knightstown at????
