What you think about this cam?
Buy my 232/236 .595 601 114 cam... it is avail now... 2K on it.. bought it new.. I made 401/375 through bolt ons and a Yank SY 3500..
This cam has a very aggressive idle.. makes great power and is VERY streetable..
Or you can pay $400+ for a new one..

the 224/230 is not a bad cam. do some searching and you'll see several cam only 224 cars putting 390 or more to the rear wheels. If you literally have all the bolt-ons, you should be close. Don't fall into the trap of going bigger just to reach a magic number. Remember how you use your car 90% of the time. Think about all the time you spend at 30 mph or less and light throttle. A bigger cam will make you wait for the power (not as much with 4.10's) while a properly selected cam will be right there.
Patrick G's torque cam is the best example. Sure he has tweaked his car to the nth degree, but its all that the much larger cams are cracked up to be, plus a lot tamer around town. His Comp LSK 224/228 on 110 LSA has put 480+ to the rear wheels. A stock headed car with good tuning should get to 400 without the off-road pipes and electric water pump he used.
If you must go bigger, I'd suggest no more than 228/232, and even then steer away from the 110 LSA to keep overlap down. It is great for low and mid speed torque, but better with lower durations when streetable is part of the agenda.

hammertime what do you think of the specs of the G5X3 i really have been looking at it but most of all the people i have talked to about my plans have told me to look at the T-Rex, MS3, MS4, G5X3, G5X4, Futral 13, Futral 14, Torquer 2, & Torquer 3. i also never drive my car below 2,000 rpms cause it will start jerking and i dont like to put it through all the stress. what do you think of the cams i listed above?

If you are set on one of those you listed, I'd go with the smallest - the f13 @ 230/232, and put it on a 112 lsa. The high lift version should net you about 10 rwhp over the standard.

Personally, I think 110 is the way to go with that cam, but my car isn't a daily driver. If you can really keep it above 2000 when you are driving, I'm sure it would be ok.
Honestly, with a few degrees less duration, 110 in a daily should be no problem. And as is usually the case, an excellent tune with a good cam will likely perform better than a pretty good tune with an excellent cam.
