Debating Cams Ok got some thinking to do here I'm between 5 or 6 cams
Thunder-Trak
LG-5x3 need the durations specs if anyone has them
TSP-233/239, Torquer, Magic Stick
The shop I go to recomended a 228/228
I'm going to be putting in the Comp 921 Springs and Comp R Rods when I do the cam regardless of what I pick
I don't care about rough idle or a loss of some street manners and bottom end as long as I don't lose my a$$ to a civic off i light I'm fine.
This is the car: 00 Hawk M6 Spec 3/Steel Flywheel 4.11's/Girdle 10 bolt though blackwing lid K&N LT's ORY LM Any thoughts? Thanks

The only thing about the TRAK is the lift. .640! 
That's very close. You're really relying on the valvesprings to control the valvetrain at those rpms and tight tolerances. To me that's a ticking timebomb.
Any one of those cams can put you in the 400+ rwhp club, but I'd never pick the TRAK just because of the extreme lift.There really isn't a reason to have the valve hanging that far. You can get the same power with less risk using a different cam.

I've been leaning more towards the LG5X3 and the Texas Speed Cams more then the Trak my buddy has the TR 230/236 in his SS and it's an awesome cam but I don't want the same cam as him.

the Magic stick has been consistently good on lots of cars on this forum. I would also look into getting the PRC Golds instead of the 921's. They are a lot cheaper and will work just as good with any of those cams

PRC springs aren't considered "cheap", as in a shitty, safety compromising item. Good bang for the buck? Yes! Nothing wrong with the PRC springs or the Patriot Performance "Gold" springs either.
