Get the LGx1 cam 228 232 112. Rough idle with midrange torque thats as good as tr224 cam with more topend. Use some 918 springs and youre good for 25k miles.

jake i dont want to give you a hard time but you told javier and i before that you would take a hp hit for a lopey cam. thats why we tried talking you out of it and getting something milder.

keep the one you got i am telling you it will not make any significant difference in Power, the power band, potential, driveability and whatever else you want to compare.....the main differences would be the actual NUMBER by only a hair, the idle QUALITY, and the ride comfort. considering the wider LSA's are easier to tune especially in tuning the idle, i would stick w/ the 232/238 FWIW you'd just be wasting TIME to change and swap where you could be putting that bad boy together right now!

just keep your cam for now. if you dont like it then try something different. a tune has a lot to do with it... trust me ive learned frome experience. i still cant get my car to idle right ever since gm flashed my computer. it used to idle around 750, now its sitting at 1200. hopefully senor ding dong will be able to fix it lol.
