I dalily drive my car. It went 10.5 with a bad 1.7 60 ft. That was first time out at the track they kicked me out for no cage
Thanks for all the replies. I actually priced out staying with the streetsweeper cam, it is the cheapest route as I dont need to get new heads, tune,pushrods or springs. I am still not convinced to stay with it though. It would be nice to try something different since I do have the whole car apart.\
I do see everyone is happy with the texas speed products, one of the reasons I chose to take a look at them.

Thanks for all the replies. I dont daily drive my car, have a beater for that. I would actually keep the streetsweeper but I pulled the lifters and cam. Its shot.
Looks like it a valve hit the piston also. I dont want to have to flycut. I am going to have the bottom end redone with new bearings, rings and a hone. I will be putting it together myself.

Something like a comp 222/224 .560 112 will be excellant street cam, with no surging, bucking, fuel consumption issues, valve train wear and tear that the big cams have, why go a big 230+ duration in a street driven car for?.
224/224 TR cam is another to set the benchmark. 220/220 580 112 or 114 with a set of prc heads will also work a treat

IMO from what seen use thunder racing raptor cam with tsp 243 heads mad combo works great even with a mail order tune from Geoff @eps. Why not get the power and have a great rumbling car at same time

I love my tsp setup!!
My first setup was a cam only MS4 car and loved it.
Now I have a Tsp blower cam and prc 2.5 ls6's. Might be upgrading to a bigger cam, fast and Prc 227s this spring. TSP for the WIN!!

Better H/C/I pkg vs stroker 02 camaro m6 w/3.73 gears. DD & road race. 109+mph in qtr with current ported 241's & mild cam from tsp with stock LS6 intake. 402/394 on mustang dyno. I'd like to gain another 75hp if possible with a head/cam/intake change instead of a stroker kit and still have some decent street manners.
Any experience with a streetable lunati cam and patriot heads, along with the 102 fast as far as numbers go? Other combos that can get me where I want to go without going into the engine with good tq numbers under the curve and good throttle response throughout the rpm band?
