I am looking into getting a cam for my DD. I have the mods in my sig and am planning on getting the future mods in my sig before the cam but was wondering what cam would make the MOST POWER. If anybody has any sound clips of those cams or cams that you think would be good post em up ! I have looked around for some clips but have not found very many... PLEASE HELP...thanks

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.
