Multiple local LS guys (with more experience than I) claim I dont need to use a degree wheel. Just put it in "straight up" I was a lil concerned about it. Got some more experienced guys that are gonna help me install the cam

I really like the Titan4 from Cam Motion. Check it out.
http://store.cammotion.com/the-titan4

(All Titan Series cams are available in 3 Bolt and VVT.)

Grind# XA227/360-XA232/350-13+4
Duration at .050 - 227/232
Lift with 1.7 - .612/.595
Lobe separation 113

That is extremely similar to a custom cam grind that Martin (Tick) made for me. Saving up to buy it. Highly recommend you ask Martin his opinion as well.

Regardless, let the vendor know you'd like cam motion to grind it if you decide to go with a custom cam.

as an example,the last cam I installed was supposed to have an ICL of 109.it was actually at 111..
just my .02,it's your car bro.

OP,

Since this is a daily driver, i wouldnt go any smaller than a 228 cam from TSP. If you wanted a bit more, than the Torquer 2 would be the biggest cam i would daily drive. Just do a search. You will see countless threads and vids of those 2 cams.
