cam 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

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 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.

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.
