Im looking for a cam for my car. I thinking the tr 224 563 112. What do u guys think and what is the biggest you guys would go and keep it totally streetable with no issues.

 

tr224 is a good streetable cam but some would consider it mild. Their are several choices of bigger cams with greet streetability.
Some Ex. TSP 231/237, F11-F14 from futral, Speed Inc has a good bit & Speed Inc has a similar one to TSPs 231/237 just different lift #s. MTI has quite a few.
Any number of these cams will get you close to or over 400rwhp cam only with the right bolt-ons and tuning while still retaining great street manners. I had great results with the F11 in my 99z. Got 388rwhp in an a cam only automatic & had awesome street manners and w/ Speed Incs 224/224 .581 cam in my SS. Got 430rwhp but had tea heads.
You have so many choices but ur original choice of the TR224 is a good one but imho id go bigger. Im sure others will post results of different cams and you'll be able to make a good decision then Just give one of these shops a call and tell then ur goals and they'll hook you up. just my .02 cents

 

thanks

 

anybody else come on I need some info.

 

check out the dyno section...several guys post up cam only results as well as how they preform on the street. unless of course u already have

 

the vinci 062 cam is very streetable and gives no issues on the street and tuning. the 056 would be the next biggest with some very noticable lump.http://www.vincihighperformance.com/...%20LS1%202.htm

 

I've had the TR224 for over 2 years and I DD it damn near everyday. It's a great street cam with no issues. Nice broad powerband also. My setup makes 352rwtq @ 3K rpms and hits 385 @ 4100, makes for fun driving.

 

I had a TR224 114; it was very streetable, but I would not say without issues. All aftermarket cams have issues to some degree, or they would have been included with the engine from the factory. I have a 235/240 now which I'm really happy with, but it has a lot more "issues" than a TR224. It's all just a mater of how high your tolerence is. I actually enjoy the little quirks my cam has; makes it a race car and very unlike a smooth running Buick.

 

for a 224 cam I would vote for tsp224 581..

wana a bigger and something pulls strong ??? X2.

 

I say get the G5X2. You shouldnt have anything to worry about as long as you get a solid tune.

 

Another vote for the 224 cam. Great power all thru the range and still driveable w/o any other major mods. TR makes 'em in either 114 or 112 LSA....pick you weapon !

the 224 is a good selection for a street driven dd car.

 

Anybody in here have experience with an FMS F12-F13 cam for DD? Seems more likley to get me to 400whp with bolt-ons and an LS6 manifold.

 

I DD mine with the F13 and love it. It's running on the old tune for the TR224 cam with only a few problems. Getting a retune next Saturday though.

In my opinion, if you run a decent size cam, you should get it tuned. I picked up 24 hp and 21 tq when I had my car tuned with bolt ons and the TR224.

 

id go w/ that new Speed inc 231/237 or an F11, 12,or 13....thats my few pennies again

 

what would be the biggest cam I could do and still keep the street driveability

 

What difference does the LSA do? 112 vs. the 114? I have an auto. I know that the 112 has more of a lope, but what does that mean for power? Is the 112 going to be a problem with an auto car?

 

I DD mine and it's pretty streetable with a good tune. Put down 406hp and 392rwtq, kinda feels like I might have lost a little torque down low but it pulls like crazy after 3k. I have midlength headers, lid, ORY, and Magnaflow CB. Cam is a 226/226 584/584 112.

I can get a thunder racing cam for about 50 bucks cheaper than futral, so I think they close enough that the price is going to be my deciding factor.
