Default opinions on this cam 224/232 .590 .585 114

how well do you think this cam would perform on a full bolt on m6? just some specs i threw together. I pulled my fm-10 114 and want to upgrade, but i want better torque and hp overall. previous numbers less pulley was 378/372

The 3 main cams im looking at are fm13 and 14 and the torquer II also. Im excluding those till I can figure out whats gonna be best for me.

Nino, man, what up? 224/232? Honestly, that wide of a split, especially ground on a 114, sounds like a blower or nitrous cam. I don't know how much it would put out over a 224/224, but I would think it should be higher than the FM10, at least on the HP side. Torque i don't really know. The lift is anything huge either, so who knows. The torquer II is solid. Who makes that 224/232?

YOU indecisive? Look at me...I've had 4 cams so far (TR236, TSP 233/239, G5X2, FM10) and haven't installed any of them because I can't make up my mind. Have you ever heard of the Lingenfelter GT1 cam? It's a 229/242 .639/.631, on a 114. Just found it....looks like it could be fun, though I may have a little too high-flowing of an exhaust setup for it. Call EDC man.

If you are running cats and a stock mufler, the extra exhaust duration is a good idea. If you are starting with a 224/224, maybe you want to add another 2 - 4* on the intake. 226/232 114 +4 or 228/234 115 +4

Not to hijack the thread, but what would you say for LT's, no cats, and Corsa? Something like a 232/240? Maybe even a reverse split?
