I dont know anything about cams and was wondering what would be a good cam put in my daily driver?What cam can you install with out changing the vavle train?

 

thunder racing 224 cam with a 114 or 112 if you like lope. get 918 valve springs

 

read the stickies. There is not one cam that is magical and will be the absolute best, but you can guess and get pretty close. It's like ordering a drink at a bar. Even if you don't get exactly what you want, you'll still get drunk.

bottom line, you will still need to change out the springs. stock springs blow. If you are nervous about drivability, get the TR224 cam.

 

No matter what cam you get, your going to have to ALEAST swap the valvespings. The stockers are barely good enough for the stock cam. Its also a good idea to get some harderend pushrods as well. And if you really want to do it right-a new oil pump, and timing chain as well.

But yeah, do a little research here. There are so many different set-ups. Just read up and decide which one would suite your driving style the best.

 

I know about the springs are crap, I am talkin replace vavles, lifters, and other stuff.

 

yeah check page 7 in my sig that should give you an idea of power gains and work involved in cam swap as well as cam specs

 

Your stock valves will be fine, as long as your going with a streetable cam. If your looking into something bigger, then valves may be an issue to address.

As far as lifters go, some people choose to replace them, others dont simply because they dont feel like pulling the heads. When i did my cam i choose to hold off on the lifters, but only because Im doing a head swap this winter, and didnt want to do the job twice, unless i had to.
