Default Yet another cam thread...

I have an lq4 with ported 241s, 2.02/1.60 ferrea SS valves, going to mill them down to ~60cc so I will be roughly 10.7:1 CR. I was planning on using my TR 230/224 111 cam, but come to find out it's junk. I have comp cams 918 springs so I am limited to .600 lift. It is going in a full weight 98 TA, M6 with 3.42 gears still. I want very good mid range power, this will not be on the drag strip much at all, mainly for driving around town. I would love to have a good lope to it also. I have been looking at the TSP Torquer V2. Would this cam be good for what I am wanting, or something better? I would love to find a used cam and save some money but I will spend the $400 if needed to get what will work best.

Thanks!

Use a 230/230 111 cam for optimum results. But milling that much like we talked about will start getting very tight PTV with that much duration and close LSA.

Who makes a 230/230 111 cam under .600 lift? I have been looking all over the place and have thoroughly confused myself on who has what now. Thanks for all the help!

IMO, just get a TSP 228R w/111 lsa, it uses XER lobes w/.588" lift. It'll give you the power band and the sound you're looking for, and work with your current valve springs.
