cam swap worth it?
Here are the specs that were recommended to me: 226/231 .556 .530 112 lsa. Is it worth the time and money over the tr224/224 .563 .563 112lsa that I already have. My numbers are in my sig. How much should I expect to gain?
This cam was spec'ed per my application and current combo so not looking for cam suggestions.

Also, how is the driveability? This is my DD/only car for now so hopefully it would be semi-streetable.
Just wanted to throw that out there.
** LT headers, true dual exhaust, cold air kit, lid, smooth bellows, ported TB, 160 thermo, M6, stock heads, etc.

Yea thats what I was thinking that the gain would be minimal if any. This is the cam motion custom cam request. Gave them my current setup and they matched the cam to it. I'm guessing the big exaust split is due to the occasional nitrous usage I indicated.

I'll try to get in and pick them up before x-mas. My mom is coming out next week on the 20th so I'll get a break and be able to get away without it costing me money for someone to watch the kids. You going to be around til friday of that week 21-23? Can you shoot me a pm with the price.

Thanks guys but I think I am gonna hold off......the more I think about it the more I would prefer the 114 LSA, plus I just might be buying a Rottie pup this weekend, so all my spare cash is gonna go to that and spoiling her rotten.....and alllllll the puppy stuff I will need to buy that I haven't needed in 10 years.
I really appreciate it though.
