Another cam question Best combination of streetability and power for unmilled TEA S2 5.3 heads(Comp dual springs) in an m6 with a 3.42 rear.
Comp XE-R 220 581
222 581
224 581
What lsa would be best 112 or 114?
What advance should be ground in if any?
Any other cams that you think would work better?
I'm leaning toward the 220 on a 114 but was wondering how much power i would give up over the other choices.
As well would a split duration be good for reliable streetable power?
Keep in mind that this is my daily driver and my T-Type is having teething problems with it's FAST system,so i can't afford too much down time.

Re: Another cam question XER 220 on a 112*lsa would make the most of 3.42 gear,if 4.10's are a consideration than i would go with 224* on a 112*. I would have 4 degrees of advance ground in.The smaller the duration the less i would advance cam. <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

Re: Another cam question If anyone has any of these cams pipe in.
Do they surge?
Dogs down low in the rev range?
Hot starting problems?
Stalling when you brake rapidly or when the a/c is on?
Does 112 lsa exhibit much better drivability over the 114 lsa?

I have MTIs C1 cam, 222/222 dur .566/.566 lift 112 lsa with 4 deg advance, in my 99 SS m6.
It has a definate lope to the idle, more than a 114 lsa would have. I have to slip the clutch more to take off without bogging the motor, but no big deal and it idles great with the A/C on.
Gears would help, but there is no starting problems or stalling. The 114 lsa exhibits better drivability, but the 112 lsa is no problem with a M6. And yes it will have some cam surge at low rpms, but that is no problem because I just push in the clutch slowing down to stop.
Also, split cams are for NOS and blower cars.
Hope this helps. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
