Why not the Hot Cam? I made about 380whp w/ lid, LT's, exhaust and crappy Predator tune. It's cheaper, streetable, no worries about valve spring life etc...

Yeah...I've seen a vid of an FM11 idling, and it sounded very nice. I've also heard the TR224 in person, and it sounded pretty rough. Cam selection is a tough one these days...

Mine is on a 112, you problably would not want a 114 unless you're spraying your car. Call Alan Futral @ Futral Motorsports, he'll take care of you. His website is listed in the sponser bar.

You'd better zip that thing up tight!

Why not the hotcam: Rougher idle than the other mentioned cams AND less power. Question is, WHY the hotcam?

The 112 would be better n/a, it's not any choppier.
