Help me pick a cam... I am about to do a head / cam swap. I just need to pick the right cam. My goal is to hit between 420-440 RWHP. Here is what I am going to have:
- LS6 intake
- TEA S2 heads
- 1 3/4" LT headers
- RT cats
- Borla exhaust
Passing emission is essential (IM240 roller emissions test).
I was thinking about the following cams:
218/218 .563/.563 114 LSA
222/222 .563/.563 114 LSA
224/224 .563/.563 114 LSA
224/224 .581/.581 114 LSA
Will the .581 lift be any better than the .563 lift? Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for reading...

Re: Help me pick a cam... Go with thunder racing 220/220, not to bad at the low end or the 224 cam. With cats it might be hard unless ur using a cutout to get 420.. I like the smaller cam 218 or the 220 cause there more stealthy and more low-end punch.
Re: Help me pick a cam... i know of a car or 2 close to those numbers running those heads and a 224 cam...
i have the comp 224/224 .563 114 cam but no heads yet... i love the cam, just need to run a tire so i can friggin hook. I estimate 11.5 atleast on a decent 60 for me cam only <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
if i get heads they will more than likely be S2 TEA heads and im going for 10's NA <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />
i'd try a 224 cam with those heads... good luck
