LS2 Cam recommendation-Mild street car looking for a cam for a street car. Want good drivability through Cats. Will be used with CNC heads and headers, but full aftermarket exhaust.
Though't I'd ask here before asking the vendors!

Im happy with mine on the street so far, but if your really looking for drivability: go for a 224 cam : TR224, MTI C2, etc.
Actually i probably dont know what im talking about

I run a 230/236 +2 112 LSA comp XE-R cam in my M6 C5. It pulls everywhere, idles well with a nice lope and I can cruise at 1k in 6th gear. I drive around shifting at 1800 RPM when I want. It's all in the tune. ProStreet MotorSports speed density tuned my car when they did the H/C. Lot's of power everywhere and drives almost like stock.

I have a 234/240 598/608 114LSA in my 01 A4 Vette and it lopes at idle but is extremely streetable. Stock TC and tall 2.73:1 gears too.
Unbelieveable power from 3500rpm up but still lots of torque on the bottom end. Pulls like a freight train. I love it.
On the LS2 I'm building, I'm installing a Comp Cams 242/246 610/615 114LSA at 11.5:1 static CR.
As others have said - it is ALL in the tune.
Good luck on your choice

What's with all these baby cam recommendations? I guess those would work if he's using stock LS2 or even LQ9 heads. That engine can handle a much bigger cam with proper heads though. A 242/244 would be about the right area. Again, it's all in the heads and what/where they flow.
