Default Cam choice, advice please..

Ok...I've run into a lil bit of luck here and I'm looking for some input. I've been given the chance to have Comp Cams grind a cam to any spec that I can furnish for them.

Right now the car is all bolt-on's, stock heads, LS1 intake, Mac Headers, True Duals, A4 with 3800 Vig.

I'm looking at a cam along the lines of the Thunder Racing 227/224 114 cam....it's producing some MAJOR numbers with stock heads.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thunder Racings TR227 is a great cam and alot of people are having great luck with it, but just be warned, if you have Comp custom grind a cam wtih those same specs, there will still be a difference between the two cams since TR uses their own models to achieve higher ramp rates.

If you have Comp use an XE-R grind, it would probably be close, but still not identical to TR's cam.

Either way, if you are getting a good deal on it, I say go for it!
