Default I think i F'd up

I just had a comp cam 216/220 installed on my 2000 WS6 M6 and it made a difference for sure but am now thinking i went to small, i do have stock heads for now and that is why i got talked in that one, what do you guys think, the sound is not as lopey as i thought either, though i know its a small one.

Are you looking for good street driving or big dyno numbers. A properly setup engine with a small cam can be a load of fun and surprises on the street.

i have not had it on a dyno yet or a track, none around here unfortunatley and the only spec i can remember right off hand is .525 lift i think, it did make a noticable difference, before i got the D\Rs on it felt like i was on a skating rink trying to take off and now it will bark 4th gear.

Drop the idle a little bit if it's the lope you're looking for. What are your other mods?

Yes, your motor will likely explode within the next month or so due to the small cam you chose.

Really, why would you say you F'ed up? Surely you must have done some research into the kind of performance others saw with a cam of this size. Go bigger next time...

I agree, if I had to do it over again I'd have gone a hair bigger. Not T-rex or MS4 big, but maybe the TR230 or the F13. Since you have one cam swap under your belt, now the next one will be a snap. I'm almost tempted to change mine out again over winter

It is a nice cam with good valve events. all it needs is a little more lift.
What springs are you running? if 918s then a set of SLP 1.85 rockers and enjoy some more power.
Of course you'll need to get a good tune as well to get the most out of that cam.

You can hit 400rwhp with stage 1 heads, longtubes, ported TB and a LS6 intake.

Specs are 216/220 .525/.532 114+4 LSA

I guess i shouldnt say i F'd up, i like the way it performs, so far i have pacesetter long tubes, non catted y pipe, magna flow cat back, 3.73 gears, the 216/220 cam, center force df clutch and a tune, i is a huge improvement over the stock car i had in the beginning of the year, had it for five years bone stock, now i almost go sideways going into second gear with my drag radials, next is going to be a different intake manifold and heads, but that will be spring after a long mn winter.

Take a look at my sig. This is a very streetable setup and runs nice. I don't have track numbers with this cam yet. Heck, this cam can run in 6th at 1000 rpms with no/zero issues. It also peaks around 6700 rpms if you feel like going a bit faster.
