decent streetable cams? i wanted to throw a cam in my 99 z and putting aside all emissions stuff, just want the biggest baddest most powerful cam i can throw in this thing. i will still be driving on the streets so i do need something that will be ok on streets. i've been hearing bout the 224/224 being the best combination of power and streetability, but was just wondering how much bigger i can go and still retain some decent drivability. also which companies you guys prefer. i've heard many good things about mti and seen that many people on the board have them, but i heard somewhere about a cam by thunderracing that with stock heads and complete bolt-ons puts out 400-450 @ the wheels, wondering if anyone on here has heard bout it or know what grind that is or what thunder calls it? thanks in advance, and i really appreciate it if anyone can help me out.
