[QUOTE=DaveX]I think I have the exact same cam as you @ 228/232 111 +1 XER. Good to hear you like it. I did alot of research and decided on the specs myself. QUOTE]

224/228 cam is perfect for a daily driver, i have had alot of cams in my car and am currently running a 224/228 cam and feel it is the perfect all around cam, we recomend this cam to alot of our customers

Chef, I'm thinking about going back with that 224/228 cam as I had one a few years back. What are the rest of the specs on yours? I believe mine was 224/228 581/581 112+2 XER, not for sure and don't know the grind #.

you definitely can never go wrong with a 224 cam for sure. its proven itself so many times as a good street, daily driver cam!! but i would also take a look at the patriot 226 cam.. i like what i have been seeing out of that cam...

224 112 here. My first LS1 cam and chose this because I read how great it is etc so I went with it. Its true its a great LITTLE cam and makes good power. Driveability? Well I guess I was afraid of the big lift of LS1 cams in general comparing to sbc's vs radical'ness if you will. This cam is sooooo mild I could handle a way bigger cam for DD use its very driveable and fuel efficient too. That being said I dont believe its nec to go huge so if I could do it over I'd get 224/228 or a 230 ish cam. I dont think it would be undrivable at all.
