Default 4L60 Street cam

Hey guys looking at a mild street cam for my DD. In the past i have run a 232/230 on a 114 lsa in my turbo ta and a 251/247 on a 112 lsa in my 408 car but this time things are a little diffrent. I have a 2 year old little girl that likes going to car shows with her daddy . And i need somthing mild thats not going to kill my MPG and offer good street driving. The car will be dyno tuned after the cam (rpm in garner nc) and i plan on adding a LS6 intake and 243 heads down the road. My future goal will be a little over 400 whp on motor but for right now i would be happy around 370 (give or take) I have been kicking around idea's for the last week ranging from the 224-234 range and any thing from 112 lsa up to a 115. My first picks have been the 228R and the torquer 2. Any advice is welcome guys.

99 TA 55,000 on the clock stock 4L60 with 3.23 gears
Raptor hood/lid intake
pacesetter LTs
TSP duels out the back
Yank PT3500

Other mods
SSBC brakes
Hotchkis suspension

Car is 99% street car but does see the 1/4 once in a blue moon and maybe a auto x every now and then

228r or something like a 228/234 .588/.598 112+3 xer cam....that cam with a ls6 intake and a set of 799 heads imo would get you 400 hp and drive great! For valvesprings id get the bt racing springs! Very nice product! My friend has a 232/236 xer cam in his 98 z28 and it bucks alittle in 6th with 3.42's.

go with a 232/234..Something like a TSP Torquer 2. That would be as big as i would go on a fun street car. Will hit 400rwhp easily.. Also throw some 3.73..

.551/.555 (Lift int/ext) 204/218 (Durations int/ext) 117.5 LSA 115/120 ICL

Not quite 220 durations, it is a 204 intake 218 exhaust

I would recommend looking at the 228R on a 112 for this type of use. It has a very broad useable power band and once tuned drivability should be great. Its been a very popular cam for us because of the drivability but solid performance gain.

Yes i agree. The LS6 cam just seems like a waste of a cam swap (no offense) but the smallest cam i would swap would be a sleeper 113/220 115lsa but i am looking for somthing a little bigger.

RPM recomended a 228/230 grind on a 112 LSA with just under .600/.600 lift. Duel springs would be a must.

I second the 228r on 112 LSA. Just installed it in my dd about two weeks ago. With Lt's, LS6 intake and 243's I made 390whp through a 4L60e and 3600ss stall. It's drives great around town And gets good mileage with my 4.10 gear. It's averaging around 20mpg.

Have you looked at any of the AI spec'd mild grinds? Supposedly easy on springs like the beehive PSI's which can use stock retainers/locks/seats.
