Re: Is this a good cam for what I want? So do you want a cam just for sound, or power? If you are using the stock heads, anything over a .540 lift is worthless IMO, since the heads will not be able to keep up. However, if you intend to get Stage 2's in the near future, go with something like a 226/226 on a 110 LSA. It will give you major low end torque, and will lope so hard your car won't know what hit it.

Re: Is this a good cam for what I want? I would be adding Stg.II GTP or MTI heads within a year of the cam. From these replies it doesn't look like the 226/234 is what I'm looking for.
I just want a badass lope and mid-range power and torque. I'll probably never even see the race track. I decided against the C2 because I didn't like it's sound. Tell me more about the 226/226 on a 110....got a soundclip of that?
Thanks

Is this a good cam for what I want? 226/234 .554/.575 on a 112 with 4 degrees of advance.
I drive my car almost daily (M6) and I want to add an aggressive cam for now and heads later on. I've heard this cam and know it lopes hard, and that's one of the reasons I want it. I don't really care for the sound of single duration cams. I also want more mid-range hp and tq than top-end since it's a street car. So does anyone have this cam? Thanks

Re: Is this a good cam for what I want? It seems more geared for a super charged car IMO
And if you want a awsome street raceing cam The MTI c2 is a awsome cam --not lopey thow --but thats what is cool about it to me --Mr Turbo /fart pipe/Nos spaying ricer wouldnt know what hit him, What cam do ya have now? Plus a duration like that I think may wig out the computer - split durations i heard need more programming and dyno tuneing-thats why most cams like the MTI 224/224/582/ will work on stock programming but even that cam would require some dyno tuneing to get the most out of it-and you have stock heads ,I'm getting the heads first or just have a spare set of ls1 heads done ,then get the cam--it seems like everyday there is a better combo on the cam --but the heads will not change much--so the heads will always be a solid base line to work off of ,but either way dyno tuneing will be needed or get ls1edit <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: Is this a good cam for what I want? I'm running the stock Z06 cam now. I've heard the C2 cam but IMO it's doesn't have near enough lope. I don't want anything with XE-R lobes...I think they sound too stealty. Why do you say the 226/234 is geared for a supercharger?
