Default Help Me Decide Between Three Cams...

I can't make up my mind on which cam I will get.
TR220
MTI B1
LS6
How do these cams compare to each other and which one (out of these three) would you recommend. I know the LS6 is the least expensive route, but are the other cams worth the extra money. Will the B1 & TR220 pass the sniffer in California.
Any thoughts would be helpful, and tuning isn't an issue. Thanks

Do the B1 ...or the C1 on a 114.

What are your goals for the car?

LS6, the least performance...cheapest.

TR220 less perf than the 221.5 114 l/s B1

B1 is slightly less perf than the Hammer on a 114. 222/222 .566/.566 on a 114.\

All have passed emissions...
None NEED tuning... all will benefit from it.

All will have a pretty smooth idle.

Worth the money.. man that depends on you...you wanna go fast? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I'm running the C1 on a 114 LSA, awesome cam. Almost stock idle and pulls like mad. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
