Default The m6 cam (streetstyle)

Ok, i have a 2002 ws6 m6 with most boltons + headers and 3.73 soon. My next step is a cam and then it will be it.
My goals are to reach about 400rwhp and a lot of torque= the perfect cam My car is a daily driver want to be able to drive somthing like stock, and i dont want to change springs everytime either......

I have searched so much now that i´m back to 0

Wich cam will get me closest to my goals? please help.

im going to suggest the tr224. it will get you close. great mid range and pulls hard to red line. ditch the 3.73s and go for the 4.10 you wont notice much different going to the 3.73s get some underdrive pullies and i good tune and you'll be straight.

F11 is a good cam. Drives pretty good with the 3.42s and has a lot of torque (over 350 rwtq from 2500 to 6000 rpm - if I remember correctly). Sounds awesome too.

See sig. Don't let the track numbers scare you ... they're a result of driver error.

TR224. All around great cam, drives very much like stock, especially with a bigger gear and will pull hard through a powerband that's useable on the street.

You can hear a lope but it's certainly not a choppy "look at me" cam. Your tuner should be able to get it to idle very tame.

I'm gonna agree with this cam. I'm thinking about this one too but can't decide if I want a 112 LSA or a 114 LSA.

Im getting ready to put a F11 ib nt can in the next week or so but if your going for a daily driver i would go witha TR224 its proven power and a great daily drive you want to get in on the 112lsa for a M6in stead of a 114 which is better A4

The torquer is exactly the opposite of the name. I'd suggest an F13. A very docile cam that is a proven performer much like the TR224.

There are a lot of good DD cams. Check out the F13 or the 228R. I personally went with the 228R. A lot of picking a dd cam depends on what you consider "streetable" and where you want your powerband. Do a search, lots of great info on different DD type cams.

^ Yah the tight LSA's are nice if you don't have to pass the sniffer!
All the cams above 224 degrees of duration are nice if you don't have to pass the sniffer.

I hate California for its smog laws!

I would suggest going with a slightly bigger cam then the tr224, it is a good dd cam but most people that get it end up wanting a bigger cam. Just my .02
