cam and gas mileage I'm looking into getting a cam soon, but do not want to hurt gas mileage too much. I drive a 650 mile trip about twice a month is the reason i say this. I dont not want too big of a cam just some more power. Was looking at something aroud 224 or 228. I do not want anything too drastic. Thanks.

so why waste the time ? go for TR224 114lsa
plus it all depends on the tuner,find a good one and you will have no gas mileage issue
i tried that cam my self before and my ride a daily driven car and didnt has any gas issues.
and about the power ? the tr224 is one of the strongest cams on the street it had
a strong power all over the rpm and i saw cars dyno only cam mods with headers
and stock cats and A4 put 360hp . i put 390hp with bolts on then i put 410hp with
heads.
that was my best choice so why dont you go for a visit to THUNDER RACING.COM
and see by your self. glad to help
good luck

Get a cam that will operate its valves to put your DCR at low to mid 8.x range. That will help economy as well as power by raising cranking compression.
Personally Id go 224/228 next time. Get yourself into the 0.58x+ lift range too if you can. Maybe 114* LSA to reduce overlap.
