What Cam For A Bolt On TA
Advice that I used to get a lot is to find locally cammed cars similar to what you want, take a look at 'em, get a ride in the car, etc... take note of their road manners and whatnot. Doesn't work for me because around here there is only one cammed f-body that I know of so I kinda have to wing it.

Good ole Erie. But that makes sense. Im really going to research this. The only thing that sucks is the tune after the cam. The car came LS1 Edited. ??who knows for sure. Gotta run for tonight. Thanks again for the help Lastcall

I also reused my timing chain...correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a LS1 timing chain very similar to the LS2? No need to change that if your just staying cam only. Will save some $$$ too. I just got the whole package from Thunder Racing (cam, pushrods, and retainers) Pretty good deal if you ask me.
I went with the TR 224/224 114LSA. car has a little lope but nothing that will be obnoxious in traffic. I put down 388rwhp and 385 tq on basic bolt-ons (LT's, ORY, Hooker and Lid) I have a 01 TA M6 BTW.
Once my car was tuned by Redline here in the STL, the car is a JOY to drive. Great manners around town, almost just like having my loudmouth.
As far as low-end torque goes...I have 325 lb. ft. at 2500 rpm. Do you need any more than that driving around town? I know I don't. This cam is a proven performer on the street and at the track, which is why I choose this setup...I want to leave the TA at home everyday to save miles on it, but I can't seem to leave it in the garage b/c its so much fun now!!!

I want the sound/better power. There are some decent cars up here, and I just want to hang in there more, if not a little better!!!

LOL this is why I am taking it somewhere. I just dont want the down time, it would be a long time before I got my hands on it. Im pumped, I think Im going to go with one of these.
I did my cam swap working on-and-off over 3 days while putting a lift kit on a dakota...Having the right tools makes those hard to reach places much easier, but I still thought getting the crank pulley on and off was the toughest part, that and turning the key.
