Default Cam decision
I have a 2000 SS camaro. I have flp,borla,lid. I wanting to put a cam in the car. I'm undecided.
Either the B1, Or lunati 224 560 112. The car doesn't get driven much. Which do you guys think would make more power?

Thanks
Jeremie

I know the b1 has no problem with stock heads just change springs and retainers. Would I be able to the same with the 224 560 112?

The B-1 is a great cam. I had mine installed on saturday. With no tuning done, the car idles great and has great driveability. Pulls HARD to 6500.

The install will be the same with the B1 or 224/224. I would expect the 224/224 to make a few more horses up top compared to the B1. The 224/224 is a very streetable cam; I know because I am currently running one from Comp, and it's on a 112 LSA. I have it idling at 825 in gear in my A4 w/ no problems. It would need to be a little higher, though, for when you kick the a/c on.
