A few here say a TR 220 works good with stock programming. I couldn't see going smaller imo.

I am really happy w/ my XE 216 cam. It idles almost like stock in my M6. I set the SES for a P0300 for the first time in 5k miles yesterday , so it really idles well...especially since its on the faster comp lobes.

I had it custom ground per my specs. If you want the lobe numbers, let me know. I also really like the amount of torque that it makes from idle to midrange. Wish I had gotten the 218 though, for slightly more top end.
