Difference betweeen these 2 cams 228/228 .575/.575 112 lsa
or
227/224 .569/.563 114 lsa
After seeing the specs of Lou's new cam, the cam that I used to want (224/224) seems puny. Would there be much surging with the 228/228? Will it be a dog until it hits around 3,000 rpms?
This will be on a M6 with all of the boltons.
Thanks.

Re: Difference betweeen these 2 cams more top end with the first cam for sure, with that 112 lsa.
Don't get caught up with all the big cams now offered. remember when you go big you tradeoff low end, also with lou's cam and I need to verify this you need to flycut the pistons due to p/v clearance.
I like that g5x2 cam too, but I'm afraid it might be too extreme for me, and I dont want to change valve springs every year..

Re: Difference betweeen these 2 cams I don't want to change springs that often either (that's why I put .575 on the spring lift). I just don't want to pick too small of a cam, especially with these newer, bigger cams coming out making huge power.

Re: Difference betweeen these 2 cams ChitTownSS,
I'm also from Chicago, it sucks not being able to drive your car that often in this damn snow!! I'm getting a Comp .224/224 .581/581 114-LSA installed on my car on Wed. at Speed Inc. Also the ASP pulleys, 3200 VIG converter & dyno tuning. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> How do you think my #'s will look in my first dyno. <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" /> 2002 Z28 & SS

Re: Difference betweeen these 2 cams Yeah, I'm probably going to go with them on the install too. I just don't know which cam to pick. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Difference betweeen these 2 cams That reverse split dur. cam (227/224) will probably make more power on a naturally aspirated application. Also, with stock heads you will NOT have to flycut the pistons with that cam. If you're heads are milled, you may have to check P/V clearance.

Re: Difference betweeen these 2 cams Yeah, I will have stock heads til next year. Then, I'll go with some stage 2's. If I do go with the 227/224, I think I'm going to get it on a 112 lobe. Anyone have this cam?
