It runs great on the street. I chose this 'small' cam because I did not want to put up with any drivability issues, since this is my daily driver. If I ever get another car for a beater, I would definately go bigger.

i still think im going to go with this cam... http://www.thunderracing.com/dynogra...n=read&pgid=62
It will suit my needs better for being a college boy and having to pass emission. Good for the street/strip... Ill go bigger in a year or two. Thanks for the help guys.

Please fill me in on this and where it can be bought and any other helpful suggestions. Thanks.
As far as mileage as I posted... 27.6 mpg on the way to cali at 85 mph... pretty impressive if you ask me! I drive 30,000 miles a year and use my car as a parts car and daily driver and it loves it! 100% maintenence free!
As far as the cam lift numbers, LG doesnt disclose them, and honestly does it really matter? The cam is incredible and does EVERYTHING promised and more! I also have a LONG list of satisfied customers that love their LG cams so if you would like I can give out their names on here and you can PM them!
to purchase check out LG at www.lgmotorsports.com

What kinda springs/lifters (i need to replace them anyways due to a small problem with my stock ones)/pushrods/retainers should i get with it if i were to buy it? When u get those numbers.. PM me or E-mail me at mooley@comcast.net or post them cuz id REALLY like to see these numbers. I have borla catback at the moment. But Im selling and buying pacesetters to true duals (doing the work myself.) I will doing the install on my cam myself... The tune will be brought to a speed shop though. Or LS1-edit. Which do u suggest for the tune by the way? Well get back to me with the answers please. Thanks once again.

As far as if you get a small cam, they will say, you'll be going bigger soon...Why even do it? Riiiiiiiiigght!!!

edit - the TR220 guy was an auto car that wanted OE driving ability that would run A/C, drive normal and not cause any problems... he gained solid power everywhere, lost NO drivability whatsoever, lost NO low end whatsoever, still idles fine, etc!

TSP 231/237 if you don't got with the X3 cam. You should be able to hit 400rwhp and almost equal torque with it. I see you are running cats as well. Hmm, yeah you're going to need all the cam you can get with cats and no LS6 intake.
