224 vs cheatr? for a daily driver? i just need some more bang. im tired of being the guy in the middle no one wants to run. thunder says that they can get almost 400 rwhp with the 224 and full bolt ons which i have. will the cheatr be able to give me similar or more performance? like i said daily driver and i would like to keep it civil. a/c is always on and does get caught in traffic on occasion. only thing with the cheatr is with that much lift is going to be killing my springs every 10k miles? car only has 13 on it but will be getting alot more.
The CheaTR works great with headers or stock manifolds. It's going to be much more docile than the 224 cam (because of reduced overlap). As long as you have good springs (preferably duals like Patriot/PRC duals), and shim them to within .050 of coil bind, you'll be good for 30k miles, at least.

Are the shims necessary with duals? I have Patriot Golds in some ported heads that I'm getting ready to install along with the Cheatr cam. I remember talk of needing to shim 918s for this cam, but I hadn't heard of needing them with duals. Can you verify this? Thanks.
Sorry for the hijack.
