Will someone rate these cams, numerically ordered, for DRIVEABILITY. I know which cams to choose for street/strip/N20, etc, but this aspect is a little confusing for me. This is my every day driver, in all kinds of weather. In city driving, 150 miles per week.

T1
B1
C1 (hammer)
P1 (221/224 I think...)
TR 224 (112 or 114 LSA)
TR 220
HotCam

I know thats alot of cams, but you guys are SMART. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0"> Thanks.

1. Hotcam
2. TR 220
3. B1 (similar to T1 and C1)
4. T1
5. C1
6. TR 224 112 or 114
7. R1 is a nitrous cam...

MMS 224v3.1
B1
TR 224 114ls
T1

I wouldn't think the hot cam, which requires high rpm to make power, would be so streetable. On the street you want low end torque!

Ok, my guesses on the ones that I am familiar with from best drivability to worst...

P1 (I'm thinking this is a 116 LSA cam?)
B1
C1 (Basically a T1 with a slightly faster ramp rate)
T1
HotCam

BTW, the R1 is a large CI cam, not a nitrous cam. It's what my MTI 422 came with. I now have the S1.

Hey Colonel,

What are the R1 and S1 specs? I am still trying to come up with last second choices on my 422, have an M6, and want to get away with as much as I can and still drive on the street regularly.

Haven't converted to the auto-trans world yet <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0"> , though your quarter times are beginning to make me wonder.

Wow, I didn't know that I would get so many varying responses! <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0"> Thats alright, I want some heated debate. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Is there a P1 and a P2? Well, either way, its a 221/224 (don't know lift) 113 LSA, I believe.

Oh, another thing I wanted to add: Didn't Geoff say earlier that he believed that their TR 224 was more driveable than the T1/B1? Granted he IS selling the cam, but I'm confident he would be honest. <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0">
