i already did its somewhere up there^^^ either page 1 or 2

In other words, sometimes it sits, sometimes its a daily driver, sometimes its a 1/4 only car. But above all it needs to make as much power as possible and **** off the neighbors.

I say if you are going with heads later, sacrifice some of the top-end only power now by going smaller, and you'll make great power later with the heads. I think you'll be happier overall.

 

Haha I hear ya man, daily driver/streetable will differ from person to person. Hell I loved my 232/238 (similar to your cam) in my z28. Sure my car had a mean idle but besides a little surging at real low rpms when not giving it any gas it had great streetability. I think camaro67rs355 wants everything: power (400 rwhp cam only), streetability, great idle, daily driver and thats impossible to find unless you have a loose definition of streetability. Camaro67rs355 I say **** it and go with the G5X3 out of the cams you listed!

 

it will be dyno tuned the day of the cam swap. basically i want it where i can drive it daily. i was just saying it does see the 1/4 mile for fun every now and then but its no drag car. for daily driving what do you think about the following...

T-Rex
MS3
MS4
G5X3
G5X4
Torquer 2
Torquer 3
F13
F14

Torquer 2 on a 113 thats sounds good!

 

My bad, thanks hammertime so I don't have to go looking. Seems like you do want everything and that’s ok, I’m greedy like that too. Go with the G5X3 on a 114 but it’s all in the tune. My 233/239 idles at 825 and has 0 surging issues even with the air on. With PRC 2.5's and other goodies I was putting down enough to beat new Z06's so the power was there. The G5X3 is a tad bigger than mine but if you get it on a 114 you should be ok again provided you get a good tune. Can't stress that enough and I’ve seen people and shops that were supposed to be professionals do some very bad tuning.

So to get all the operating characteristics you want you will really need to support a cam of this type with good heads, exhaust and intake. Then the magic is in how the parts work together as some components will deliver better together than others. Let us know whatever you decide and good luck.

I agree. Since Comp doesn't grind on odd numbers, that 233/239 is probably really a 232/240 (like a G5X2) or similar. But why the 114 for the G5X3? Wouldn't that kill the midrange that he wants? Oh and I've got a friend who with stock heads went 124mph and 417hp on a G5X3 on a 114, so it might be a good choice. Just remember that's with a 6800 rev limiter since the 114 carries out so high.

 

g5x3 on a 114 idles better than it does on a 112. Plus I believe that it is very close piston to valve wise with the 112. Out of the cams listed I would say g5x3 but if you want something a little more tame get either of the tsp torquer cams.

 

heads will be awhile but the exhaust is very free flowing - QTP's, 3inch X pipe, TSP True Duals dumped before axle, no cats

the intake for now will be the LS6 with ported and polished stock tb but coming soon fast 90 intake and nw 90 tb

 

The best comparison for (most) all of these cams is overlap at .050 lift

T-Rex: 242/248 - 110 = 25 degrees overlap
MS3: 237/242 - 112 up to 114 = 15.5 degrees @ 112; 11.5 degrees @ 114
MS4: 239/242 - 111 or 112 = 18.5 degrees @ 111; 16.5 degrees @ 112
G5X3: 234/242 - 112 or 114 = 14 degrees @ 112; 10 degrees @ 114
G5X4 > x3 = at least 16 degrees @ 112, at least 12 degrees @ 114
Torquer v2: 232/234 - 112 up to 114 = 9 degrees @ 112; 5 degrees @ 114
Torquer v3: 231/234 - 111 or 112 = 8.5 degrees@ 111; 4.5 degrees @ 112
F13: 230/232 - 112 or 114 = 7 degrees@ 112; 3 degrees @ 114
F14: 232/234 - 112 or 114 = 9 degrees @ 112; 5 degrees @ 114

Of those, Id say go with the F13 on 114 for best daily driver, but the wide LSA will stretch out the powerband somewhat.

For reference, a 228/232 - 112 has 6 degrees overlap @ .050"

 

LG is picking up my car tomorrow...

Motor is being built as i type..

Went with the G5X3 as well... (114) for my stalled A4.

 

so u did go with the LG... i want to hear a video of it when you get it back!

 

You're gonna love it.

 

Ok,,,, i'll get one..

They currently have about 10 C6 Z06's in front of me...

But it "Should" be done by next weekend...

Trust me,,, i WILL post the results..

 

just wondering but what cams can make a car with bolt ons and just a cam have around 400 at the wheels or more? would that cam be streetable in my case?

 

just got off the phone with thunder racing and they recommended this cam what do yall think?

99-TR230/224-111 Thunder Racing Custom "Reverse Split" Camshaft - 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA 2200-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. Automatic cars require computer tuning and it is recommend for optimum results on manual transmission cars . Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.View Dyno Graph $389.99

 

G5X3 114 lsa

 

Haha man you change your mind from post to post. Another good cam, the 230/224, but a far cry from the trex, ms3, ms4, grx3, g5x4, torquer post you had a few posts back.

 

Gillbot has a TR230 putting 399 to the wheels with mac mid-length headers.

Oh yeah, through an A4, too
