Default Please help me choose a Cam...

I have a 1998 T/A with Mac Headers, o/r y-pipe, borla wide open, Pro Yank 3600 Extreme, Whisper Lid and MAF, and the free ram air mod. After all of this i had it dyno'd and it only pulled 311 rwhp. I also do not have the O2 sims yet btw. Could this be the reason for such low numbers? Either way, i've decided i want heads/cam to up the ante, but figured i would go a piece at a time. So i am interested in a Cam. I heard the thunder racing cam's are very good. But i do not know about the separation, lift, etc. I am looking for mostly more power and a little sound. It is already extremely loud, but of course its never loud or fast enough. So, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Eventually yes i am. Tuning is a must, but i have to find somewhere to get it done around Dallas first. I'm not very fond of the last place i took it to get my convertor and headers installed. I don't think they did anything of that sort. Idle is not too much of an issue, nor is mileage. Neither is sound level in case you were curious. Thanks

I have similar mods, and a less efficent converter, I dynoed 312 rwhp, I wouldn't worry about it.

I've got a gold 98 Z28, so I thought I'd respond. I have the Comp Cams 224/228 563/563 114 lsa. I also have stage 2 heads. With Ed Wright programming, the car idles at about 900 rpm and has a noticeable lope. As far as power goes, I've never dynoed the car but have a 116 mph trap speed. I hope to see 117-118 mph this weekend. Better weather, lock-up switch and MAFT should help me see those numbers. I think you would be very happy with that cam.
