C2 vs 226 cam? I was wondering if there would be any difference between the C2 (224/224 581 581 112) or the 226/226 585 585 112? Both cams are on the XE-R. Is there that much of a difference between the 2deg of duration? Does anyone have any other cams I should look into?

Re: C2 vs 226 cam? I run a 226/226 575/575 114 FMS cam in an otherwise stock motor.
I dont have dyno results, but at the track I've run several high 117 mph passes and one 118 mph pass. These were all low 11.40 passes too with the best of an 11.40.
Onxyls1 has the c2 cam in his M6 car and has run 11.70@116. You should push around the list http://xs-fx.com/list/ls1tech_list.php

At what point is big... too big? the 222/222 makes good power. The 224/224 CAN make more power but it will have to run harder. The 226/226? same scenario, more RPM's, more rear gear, more converter, higher launch to stay out of the bog... etc. At what point do you say OK, "this" is big enough?
There are always trade offs....ALWAYS.
