If you want a cam that small I would just go with ThunderRacing's TR220 cam... a proven piece of hardware...

I would consider the TR220 or TR224 also.

Also check and read the cam sticky at the top of this forum. It will help you determine stuff you probably have not thought of otherwise.

I have the Comp 222/224 @112lsa - it's good, very good!

It gained me 40-50 rwhp right thru the rev range.

Otherwise, try the Comp 212/218 @ 115lsa .558/.563 - XR265HR, it makes good numbers also and on 115lsa would be smooth to drive.

Cheers,

Macca
