I just read through the sticky section and might I say awesome information.
okay so the time is now. Cam swap and I want to do this right.
Basic wants from this is an noticeable power increase. streetable/ strip cam. I'd much rather have an aggressive street cam over a daily driver cam but nothing too large. I love choppy idles
So with my wants heres the list i compiled.
PRC dual valve spring with .650" lift
TSP chromoly pushrods
double timing chain (unsure of brand)
Cam **Undecided.
wideband and afr gauges
Now I recieved a cam for free but I'm undecided on using it. It is a comp cam and is specd @ 224/232 .555 .575 with a 114LSA
Im unsure because it was lightly used in a supercharged ta and was grinded for that particular car.
My car is a 2002 WS6 with lid, TSP 1 7/8"primary LT's, custom catless true dual exhaust. So everything is stock inside the motor.
it previously made 358.5rwhp/369.7rwtq on my old exhaust set up. I was curious about what power I'd be looking at with cam.
If I were to do a new cam my friend recommended going with a 228/232 .588/.595 with a 110LSA
What do you guys think? New cam or used cam? and does my parts list look correct?
Id like to order main parts this week sometime soquick responses would be great.

Thanks for the responses guys. As far as the torquer cam I feel like over .600 is too large on stock heads. I'm really thinkin I'm gonna go with that 228/232 .588 .595 with a 112lsa and 112icl. I just think itd be safer all around to get a new can that fits my build. Does anyone object to this custom cam or have any input?
