Default Need help picking cam/stall

I want to do a cam and stall for my 99 t/a. I dont want a real aggresive cam but i still want a nice lope and some good power out of it. Any ideas as to both?

I'm having fun with my hotcam and Fuddle 3200.

Work keeps me out of town 4+ days a week, otherwise I would give you some track times for comparison.

On a side note, if you are going to go with any 22x+ cam, I would drop a few hundred bucks on an LS6 intake.

TTT for you.

you'll probably get a lot of different opinions on this.but ask yourself this.what's more important,drivability or performance?i daily drive my car,and as a comprimise i settled on a TR220 cam,with a MW 3000 stall TQ.and 3.73 gears.i gave up peak power for drivabilty.personally,i love it.TQ is not too loose,especially when combined with the 3.73s.i have a slight lope,just enough to make people wonder if there's a cam in there.but a lot of guys go bigger on both TQ and cam,and still daily drive them.

something below 230/230 on a 112 lsa should do you good. alot of people who get the 224/224 112lsa always say they wish they went bigger. 3500 stall should fit any of your needs, but people always wish they went bigger. but youll figure it out.

I have a brand new texas speed/comp cam 231/237 595/598 112 no box or cam card. the cam is for sale in the 'for sale' section. pm if you want. pics are also up.

check out ls1sounds for the 231/237 112 sounds damn good.
