thought this would be a good cam since i didnt want to rev my motor much more past the stock limiter. my car is a daily most of the time. thought it would be a little better than the 224 cams i was looking at.

car is a 2000 ta m6 with all the bolt ons.

Might as well just get the 228r. It is 228/228 .588 .588. Get it on 112 lsa. You won't have to rev as high.

How do you figure that? Without more information, that is very hard to determine.

guess i was more less trying to figure out the powerband on a cam such as this. just seems like the powerband would come on a little sooner than with the 228 cam. maybe im wrong, but i would give up a few ponies to have it come on a little sooner. im not looking for peak power anyway, just something that runs well on the street and can still holds its own. a little chop never hurts either. lol

What do you mean? I am just saying might as well go with it cuz it is barely bigger. And with a 112 lsa instead of a 114 lsa you won't have to rev as high because the lower the lsa the more narrow powerband you have and the earlier torque comes in.

I am not an expert but I believe that advancing the cam brings the power in earlier too. Please correct me if I am wrong. My cam is similar to your 226...it is 226, 230 .598, .600 111LSA +4 . The shift point is suppose to be 6000. I think you are making a good choice. I have a hard time understanding why guys feel the need to wind these things up (rpm) but it seems to be popular.

He mentioned a 226/226 .585/.585 on a 111 lsa
You mentioned a 228/228 .588/.588 on a 112 lsa

Then you mentioned that you won't have to rev as high with your recommendation, and later state that a lower lsa brings the power on sooner.

My point is that those two are so close in spec, that any meaningful difference will be found in the lobes chosen.

Go with a 227(.614")/227(.614") 111 LSA with +2*or +3* advance, on CompCams LSL lobes.
The 227 lobe # is 13017 .

TSP cam get you a cam with the LSL lobes, they just don't have them list on the website yet, just give them a call.

That's what I did.

Yea ic what you mean now. I didn't really see that he wanted the other on 111lsa. That might be a good cam he is looking at than

I really like the fact it shouldnt have to be revved to the moon. The closer I can get to the stock power band the better. Think there should be some advance ground into it?

99bluz28.. Why did you recommend the lsl lobes? I'm also interested in that cam you posted.its that the cam you have? What's it like?

Thanks for everyones input. If you have more keep it coming.lol

I am the same as you accept I dont mind rappn it up a little past the stock shift point. I just don't want to go any further than 6400 for sure

lusting4ls1

iTrader: (15)

Ditto!! if i can get away with shifting at 6300 thats even better! lol i have some miles on my stock bottom end (176k) and im not trying to push my luck. the motor is out right now and i would really hate to not capitalize on the opportunity to put a bump stick in.

No, the cam I have is a 227(.614")/231(.617") 111+2 w/LSL lobes.
PredatorZ, recommend the custom grind cam specs. It's similiar to what I think you're looking for. It's a great DD cam!
IMO, if you not looking for the largest cam might as well get the latest/greatest lobes (LSL or EPS lobes).
