I plan on doing a cam swap very soon. My goals are to have around 380hp and break into the 11s . I use my car on the street allot. I was looking towards either the TSP 224R 224/224, .581/581 112lsa.
Our the 225/225, .589/589 112lsa. Which cam will be better? What other cams will be good for my goals? I plan on doing a cam only setup with bolt ons. Are my goals possible? Do I need S2 heads to acomplish these goals?
Some advice and info will be greatly appreciated.

if you want 380 hp id go ahead and go with the 228/228 112 LSA, especially since you have a automatic with a stall converter that soaks up some power....remember, with an automatic dont focus on dyno numbers since its pretty much obsolete vs. track times with proper gearing/stall speed etc......and its torque you should really be focusing on
hope this helps

Edit: but you can't go wrong with any of the above cams mentioned.

The 225.225 camshaft is definately a better performing camshaft compared to the 224 cams. We've seen some really good results from them. Here's a m6 graph --->

Does the car have a verter? How much stall?

Agreed but like i said FULL bolt ons. He would need LS6 intake/ported TB/UD pulley and 380rwhp with a XE-R 224/112 (I would get it straight up, no ground advance) is very realistic.

I was looking into that cam. How do you like it? How does it idle?

1. how much rwhp are you making with the mods you already have?
2. how does your car currently run at the track?
3. what tires you planning on running when you get the new cam?

It sounds like your goals are pretty much to have a daily driver F-body that will hand a new cobra it's ****. If you're not into track racing all the time like most of these guys seem to be, I'd just go with something proven and reliable. The 224 everybodies got, and everybody likes.
Heads will be a nice boost too, and most people like to do them at the same time. $$ may make that hard to do though..... I dunno, your stall and duals with the LS6 intake manifold and a 224 sould get you really close (if not into) your goal of 11's.
Good luck to you either way. ![Cheers!!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_cheers.gif)
