I'm looking for folks out there who are using an aftermarket cam while still using stock springs, pushrods, etc. I'm looking to buy a TR220 or an MTI B1 cam. Hopefully these will be mild enough to exclude programming, emissions failure, and replacement of other valvetrain parts. What setup are you running? Any problems? Are you happy with the outcome? Thanks

You will have to run better than stock springs with either of those cams. I don't know of any cams you can run without upgrading the springs.

i run a 222/222 .595 .595 112 on stock heads. it idles fine and i can even run the A/C in traffic!! lol i need some tuning i can tell but so far its really nice and paks early around 5k or so, some steeper gears might help me out a little, i cant wait to get ported heads <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I had 98' camaro with 224/228 535/538 114 stock heads, stock tunning, stock manifold, just had JBA headers, flowmaster catback on 4.10 gears, even stock y-pipe. this back in 99-00. back then you couldent find bolt ons like now days. but the car was always over 112mph. best was 12.7@114 with 2.0 60'. With full racewight.
