Need major help with Cam!!! (Please!!)
Need major help with Cam!!! (Please!!) I have an 02 WS6 M6 with 5k on the tach. I am going to put a ory-pipe and slp loudmouth exhaust on next week. I also want to put a cam in it but I don't know what cam to get. I want something that sounds nasty, puts down good numbers but isn't to radical (daily driver). I was thinkin 224/224 with either a 114 or a 112, but I don't know much about this. Can I go bigger and still be a daily driver and not have to worry about anything, is this too big, and what kind of lift should I get. 1 last thing, what all should I change. I know that I should change the springs, lifters, and retainers right?? Anything else???
Thanks Guys!!!

I would get a set of headers first or your going to hold back the cam.
I skip the loudmouth get a cut out and put the save into a set of headers.
I have a samll 216/224 112 soulds great and very street able. I have friends running a lot bigger cams on the street, it's just that kind of hp numbers your looking for. you cam controle the thumps of a cam by how high your ideal is the lower the more thumps. 224/224 at 112 is a great street cam.

A 224 cam is a great all around cam. With proper tuning, a much larger cam like a 233/239 can be very streetable.
