Default Comp 216/220 cam

which cam should i get?

Im looking for a cam like the ls6 cam or the tr 224 cam, but not such high lift.

So i thought the comp 216/220 .525/.532 114 lsa will be a good choice. What do you guys suggest? maybe the tr 220? or the ls6 cam?

which cam is best for good daily driver, dont have to worry about spring swap, and passes cali smog. Looking for most RWHP and RWTQ? any other cam im missing?

My mods are:
SLP 345HP NBM 02 SS M6 | SLP Dual / Duals | SLP lid | Fram Filter | FTRA | ASP UnderDrive Pulley | Nitto 555R Dr | CutOut | NOS 5177 dry (85 shot)

Any cam you swap will need a spring swap too.
There is another thread with info on MTI stealth cam II 224/220, .581/.581 116 lsa
Great daily driver, Idles almost like stock.

I got a brand New in box with card never even removed from wrap 216/220 that I want to sell (Change of mind). PM me if interested.

anything 224 114 and smaller should pass with a good tune. with the availability of great springs out there .560 lift is nothing.

Sent you a PM

when i get this cam from you i will be putting comp 918 springs.

Out of these 3 cams (02+ ls6, com 216/220, and tr220) which cam will make the best HP/TQ? I want the tr224 114lsa cam but dont want to every touch the springs again, or have to worry about them. So i guess the tr 224 is outta the question. I'm looking for something in the middle of the tr 224 cam with little lift. As far as i can see its the 02+ ls6 which i think the com 216/220 .525./.523 114lsa is better than the 02+ ls6 cam. But is it better than the tr 220 cam?

Also, where does the comp 216/220 cam kick in at (RPM wise)? what about the tr 220 cam?
