I'm getting a new cam for my car
Specs are as follows: Intake Duration - 224.0
Exhaust - 224.2 Valve Lift: Intake - 0.562 Exhaust - 0.562 Lobe Separation Angle 111.70

I'll be running this with STOCK everything (except for exhaust) I'm pretty under educated
in the cam world, what can I expect from this???? Will I need anything else (heads)????

Looking at the specs, your getting the TR-224 on a 112 LSA.

Lots of folks here using that cam. Should do well with your M6 car.

However, you wont reap the best benifits from that cam until you put a set of headers on it. You really need the headers.

If you ever plan on a set of ported heads in the future, that cam will also work very well and won't need to be changed out with the new heads.

Use the "search" button on the top of the page. Type in: TR224 or TR-224

You will find lots and lots of info from previous posts on that cam.

What headers does everyone suggest? Should I go with an off road y pipe? My only exhaust mod so far is just catback??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

Cheapest route for very good long tube headers is Hooker. These can now be purchased with the Jet-Hot ceramic coating direct from Jet-Hot.

(Quote from Jet-Hot) (mini-GP going on now)

"The price for the Hooker long tube headers, coated in & out with the sterling silver ceramic finish is $548 to your door (normal is $580). The coated Off Road Y-Pipe is $211.60 to your door (normal is $248). The headers come with the O2 extension wires, O2 sensor bungs installed, AIR and EGR tubes, bolts and gaskets."

Only problem with the Hooker headers is that the Y-Pipe will not accept cats. If your state requires you to have cats, you will need to look elsewhere for headers.

Good Luck,
Ron

Would the FLP headers and Y-pipe with removable cats be ok in places where you have to pass emissions?
