It's split which I believe is usually good for fi/nitrous apps... No cam guru though..
If I was going to run a cam (haven't made my mind up if I wan a cam/heads or go FI yet).. then I'd look into atleast the TR224 cam and up.. that is if I was going cam/heads only or cam only..

Unless going forced induction I don't think it would be worth buying that cam. Seeing how it's just a little bigger than the stock cam. Stock cam specs are 198/197 478 lift 115 LSA. You just wouldn't see a lot of gains. IMO!!

Just a mild cam. Probably sounds pretty close to stock but would make a solid gain and be easy to tune. It would have excellent drivability and be fairly torquey. Could also be used for FI. You would be surprised with the numbers some of the smaller cams put up.

And a fairly smooth idle. Some people don't like this.

It looks similar to the old Comp. 218/224 .527/.535 114lsa cam. I know this cam is worth 35 to 40rwhp. The cam you are showing had alittle more lift but the 116lsa will have a really smooth idle. Thunder racing told me a few years ago that the TR224 is only worth 7 rwhp over the 218/224 114lsa cam. Just some food for thought.

This cam is between the Z06 cam and the 224, spec-wise. You should see gains all over with a pretty smooth idle. A good tune should put you 20-30hp ahead with similar torque with no real penalty, depending on your other mods. Depending on what lobes it's on, maybe slightly shorter spring life is the only possible downside. Looks like a good choice if you want stealth. This cam may even produce a stock HP/Tq curve, just lifted 20 everywhere.
Can't go wrong with this cam. People say "too small" as a knee jerk reaction. Some of these guys have small ****s and some are just being realistic that once you get the mod bug, you need more CRACK!

If I had to do it over again I would of gotten a smaller cam that is more street friendly and has a little more down low and under the curve.
how many times does someone that drives their car on the street see above 6k rpm's

Not everyone looks for a cam that's 230+ duration with questionable driveability. And 20 degree's of duration isn't a small jump. I've been using the search button alot here lately and people are pulling their large lopey cams and going with a smaller cam, around 224 duration, or smaller to get back some driveability. In my opinion only does a cam with more than 226 degree's of duration belong in a stock cube motor.
