Need Help Picking Out a Mild Cam
#21
[/QUOTE]A lot of people are reporting near 400 rwhp with just the cam alone. That's insane. To add onto that, it needs these valve springs: 12499224 which come stock in the LS6, LS2, LS3 engine. For someone on a budget, this is the perfect setup. The 243 heads that I'm getting is a full setup. My father will be replacing his old valve springs. Car has roughly 30,000 miles on it.[/QUOTE]
My 228R cammed car gained 50hp and has power everywhere. There was no loss of low end torque at all. I know everyone wants to hit 400 cam only but try not to get to caught up in the numbers. Dynos vary ALOT. The same car that made 370 on a mustang dyno could hit 400 on a dyno jet.

I came across a good buy for a 224r. Of the two cams, the 224r is spoken more highly of on here than the ASA.
EDIT: I have found the Comp Cams 918 Valve Spring & TSP Pushrod Kit for $269.99 on the Texas-Speed website. Any takes on this one?

Okay, so this is what I have in mind to get so far:
LS High Volume Oil Pump (17801830 ) $75.17
LS 1/2/6 Timing Chain ( 12586482 ) $36.48
224R Cam ( 25-224R )
Comp Cams 918 Valve Spring & TSP Pushrod Kit ( 25-918PKG ) $269.99
Comp Cam Spring Locator( 4705-16 ) $35.99
LS2 Lifter Guide Trays(x4) (12595365 ) $32.00
LS7 Lifters (12499225 ) $129.99
Centerbolt Valve Covers
243 Heads
What else should I look into getting? The equipment above is for a 243 head install, 224r cam install, ls7 lifter install, and oil pump install.
