I love it so far, I wish I had a little bigger stall or at least a looser one for NA but the one I have will love the 150shot. I have a drag setup on the way, so maybe I can actually use first gear now.

I'm not a fan of nitrous.

I'd much rather have a 400hp n/a car, than a 300hp, 400hp with n2o car.

But the difference between those two cams is maybe 5-10 peak hp, if that.

Bigger isn't always better. I went with a big cam once in my GTO and it was no fun to drive unless i was above 4000 rpms. My car was a M6.The best day was when i got rid of that cam.

I've always thought that us auto guys can/should go a bit more extreme with cams as far as duration is concerned. We don't see 2-3k like you M6 guys, and if we do its part throttle. For me, as long as the car has enough power to drive locked up on the highway that's good enough for me because at WOT it flashes to 5300 and the shift extensions are around 800-1100 rpm, so anything regarding performance under 5k rpm is out the window. If I'm making the best power possible between 5100 to say 6400-6600, I feel like that would be the best bet for me. Anything under that is honestly irrelevant to me. As long as its not stalling at lights or bucking on the freeway its DD'able in my book.


I honestly think lobe choice is more relevant to us, I'm not looking to be swapping springs more often than I do my drag radials.




But at the end of the day this is coming from someone who hasn't driven a cammed/stalled car.

That cam is normally ground with a range from 111-114lsa. Depending on where the customer would like his power band.

3 degrees of advance is used for each variation.

The other thing about driveability is what you can put up with today might be different than how you feel about the same setup 6 months from how, some guys get used to bad manners, others overlook bad manners at first because they are enjoying the new mod only to later grow tired of it which can lead to getting discouraged with the hobby. If you go "too mild" you still enjoy the car just want more, if you make the car a chore or less enjoyable to drive it is harder to get the motivation to undo your mistake.

It has its pluses and minuses but 400hp with a 100 on tap is always nice!

DD, street able, is all a frame of mind...... such a subjective question. Your going to hear some gays say a 224/224 is as big as they would go for a DD then others will say fly cut and stuff a 24x/25x in it. You get the point.

I'm very happy with mine which is in the ballpark of the cam Martin recommended you. I've seen this cam work well both in an auto and a manual. It is 100% daily drivable in either with basic supporting mods.

Keep in mind that an auto trans will soak up surge/hitching while the converter is unlocked.

Once it locks is when you will notice surge/hitching. If your tuner can, tell him to not lock the converter until over 50mph. This normally helps with larger cams and bucking/surging/hitching.

Only downside to this is it will negatively affect fuel mileage.
