Help w/ my LS2........ Ok guys I need help choosing a cam. I have patriot performance stage 2 heads w/ their dual springs. I want a cam that I dont have to wait untill 5000rpm before I get a lot of power. I'll be doing nearly all my racing on the street and dont want to get beat down low. I was thinking about thunder racing tr224 (224/224 .563/.563 112lsa). It has a great power band 1700-6600rpm. Check out the dyno:

However this is a fairly mild cam for the ls2. Does anybody know of a slightly larger cam with the same kind of powerband. Maybe something with a 23x duration I-E and about .600" lift. I would like to be about 430rwhp/tq w/ my a4.
Thanx for the input!
Oh and mods are LPE CAI, kooks LT's w/cats flowmaster super 40's, predator tune.

I had that cam in my 346 and it was the best cam I ever had, mid range was phenominal. When I went with a bigger cam it was amazing how much I lost under the curve. Maybe Paul at Thunder could get you a custom similar to the 224/224 but a little bigger.

Thanx for the insight man! I also am leaning towards the tr224 because of its ability to support a shot of nitrous. It's not in the works yet but maybe a 100 shot is'nt out of the question later down the road. Thanx again for the input!
