Default Need help with picking my cam.

Hello everyone, i am lookin into getting a cam after i do my headers and gear swap. I was lookin for a cam that will work my 806 heads and keep my car as streetable as possble because my car is my DD. My problem is a know the cam is the brain of the engine and ect. but i dont just get the numbers. When comes to numbers for a cam i am just brain dead. I am just lookin getting a small or mild cam where i can make respectable amount of power. I also like how cams sound badass while sit at a stop lite. Thanks for the help.

Rob

Yes it comes in a kit but do you have headers and a stall?

Didn't see them in your sig. I would recommend you get those 2 mods before you get a cam.

A lot of people go with a yankss3200 or ss3600 and consider it perfectly street able.

I would think a good free flowing exhaust would be imperative to getting the most out of a reverse split like the 230/224.

Agree, this is the reasoning of going with a reverse split while having a good free flowing exhaust and some what restricted on the intake side. TR230 is a great cam

i have a 3600 stall with a 233/239 tsp cam witch is alot bigger then what your lookin at, its totally streetable, the only thing about mine is its super loud, and sounds like a racecar, but thats all in the exaust. But at a light the car has that nasty plop in the idle, everyone turnes to look. Its really all in the LSA when playin with just a few degrees of duration.

I have headers waitin on cash for true duals and a stall not goin to get for awhile. A 233/239 tsp cam sounds like the cam i am lookin for. Do i really have to do a stall?
