Well it looks like a new cam will be my next mod.. Im thinking a 220/220 .561 lift 114LSA cam from thunder racing. Car is a M6

Will have stock heads for now but later on I will get either a REALLY nice set of stage 1's or some Stage II's..

I will never run long tubes.. will most likely stick with the shorties.. rest of my mods are in the sig <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Thanks in advance <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Should give you another 30rwhp atleast..

It's a good cam, and the one thunder runs in their shop car. Why wouldnt you want to go bigger though?

Those Shorties are gonna hurt you. I'm betting you won't see more than 20-25 hp with the Cam.

I sorta like the idea of staying smog leagal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> After all I am in the smog **** state.. lol

The 2000 factory cam is tiny.. i just want something to wake it up a bit.. any other suggestions would be welcomed..

I know the JBA's cant touch long tubes.. but they have CARB #'s and are high quality.. Maybe at a future date I would switch to Bassani mids but like I said..

Oh, that makes sense. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Steve, you girly man, I'm running my 227 cam with 1 7/8 grots with offroad pipe in the same darn state, heck even the same area as you, hehe. The TR cam is a good one, the B1 I think would give you a little more power and still be smog legal and it costs the same, just a thought. I would also add the LS6 intake manifold with the cam, you should see some good gains with that.

As much as id like to go nuts with the HP thing thats not what this project is about <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I just want it peppy.. i dont need to be the fastest around.. just faster than most <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> The car has always ran perfect.. id like to keep it that way..

When i want a really fast car I can ride in that sissy Z of yours <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

You going to dyno day?

Yep, I'm there on the 11th. FWIW my car is running great with the cam with no custom tuning, I really need to raise the rev limiter, it's at 6600 rpm from the HPP3 but this thing will make power to 7000 rpm, I have a three codes right now and that may be costing me some HP too, but I want to get a good baseline and then go from there. I also want to see how much HP the Borla Oval Muffler will be costing me over an open exhaust.

We just finished installing the TR224/112 in a customer's car a month or so ago. The '98 Trans Am came in with a Whisper lid, GMAF, Hooker shorties/stock cat y-pipe, and a Borla catback. It baselined at 319rwhp. The only change was the TR224/112 cam with Comp 918 valvesprings, Comp 772 Ti. retainers, and the Comp 7.400" pushrods. This picked the car up 35rwhp!(354rwhp)

The car eventually came back for Hooker longtubes w/ a 3" y-pipe w/ random tech converters, LS6 intake, an ASP pulley, and a Thunder Racing ported TB. This picked the car up to 386rwhp.

I can post a dyno graph for those interested tomorrow.

The TR224 should still pass emissions if it is on a 114LSA and a decent cat is used <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Thanks
