cam questions I have a few questions for you guys. I have a 99 Trans Am, everyday driver, 
400 city miles per week. I was wondering, my mods right now: Fuddle Racing 3200 converter, LS6 intake, and long tube headers, I was wanting to get a cam but gas mileage is a must but yet I want to make good power. What cam shaft would you recommend and what gas mileage loss would I see? I already make 19 mpg in the city. Let me know please. Thanks.

gas mileage and good power.....better get nitous that way you can have the power when you want it and the gas mileage.....or do what i did get a camaro to drive everyday and make a firebird the kick *** car...it good having a car to get around in and one to work on
i put a TR227 cam in, driveability is good once its after its running for about 15 seconds (untuned) i get about 19-21mpg untuned. before the cam i was getting 19-23mpg, so not a lot of decres in mileage. with this cma i put down 380rwhp and 370rwtq untuned with lid, mac mids, cutout, LS6 intake, and a pulley. drive like stock, sounds like a beast.

I know I didn't buy this car for gas milage. 
But I don't want to be losing 5 mpg with this new cam. My main question is how much gas mileage I was going to lose by it. I was kind of thinking the tr220 or tr224 cam. any suggestions. Let me know. Thanks.
