Default Help with Cam Choice!!

Ok Mods in Sig. I want a cam that will not kill DD to much I can take some hit in gas but not to much car is driven in spring, summer, fall. I want something with a pretty badass lope and a Cam that makes some pretty good in your seat power. I would like a cam with power all threw the rpm range. but mid to high will work to. Please let me know some ideas thanks guys

Based on your criteria above, there are a bunch of great choices out there. The Trick Flow cam in my signature should work very well for your setup. My cam on a 112 LSA has a good bit of lope....once that is VERY noticeable when the cutouts are open (I'm sure the neighbors just love it every time I start the car in the morning). There are also plenty of proven 224 - 228 cams out there. One other option if you're looking to squeeze a little more out of it would be the Vengeance cams....VRX3 or VRX4.

Default tr230

The tr230 from thunder racing is what i decided to go with and could not be happier. The cam sounds wicked with the 111 lsa and the cam is a cam that has great power under the curve as well as up top. the power is right there to, works great when i mess around with one of my friends cause he has such a big cam that it takes him alittle while to come alive. overall great with sound and the way the car runs. +1 for tr230

I agree with Midnight02, our stage III cam would work great.
