Default which 224 cam?

thunder racing 224/224 .563/.563 112
Texas 224/224 .581/.581 112
Texas 224/224 .566/.566 112
Futral 224/224 .588/.588 112

which one of those cams be the best all around hp and torque
or would the Futral 11 228"/230" .576"/.595" 112LSA make more power?

Was that with a tune? You numbers seem really low. Should be closer to 380HP.

His #'s would probably be more like 390 rwhp if he had an M6.

You are not going to find drastic differences in the 3. It will most likely be +/- 5 in either way at the most. Also depends on your choice of head setup.

Get the TR224. The 581 lifts will be harder on the springs and not yield much more hp. Possibly 3-5rwhp at peak.

Peak hp isn't the reason to go for the .581 lift XER lobes. This cam will make more peak hp, but more importantly more hp under the curve, throughout the power band.

Awesome torque curve! I am looking to put that cam in my 99. I was going to get the 114, but judging by your graph the 112 might work even better. That is exactly the curve I am looking for - a solid 50-60 over stock through the whole curve.
