Cam Driveability 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.

Re: Cam Driveability 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)

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.

Re: Cam Driveability 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">
