Xtreme XE-R XER287HR Cam- 238/240 112LSA

Xtreme RPM HIGH LIFT XR281HR Cam- 228/230 112LSA

Patriot 225/229 .580/.590 114+4

Torquer 231/234 .595/.598 112 lsa

well, i dont think power would differ much between the cams listed. And unless ur running huge nitrous shots, you dont need a "nitrous cam" Get ur car to run the way u want N/A, then spray. BTW i run a 228 236 on 110lsa 588/602 lift.

the cams that are giving 400 plus are losing low end torque like the ms3-4 and trex. u said u wanted good torque. the power u want is under the curve. The 228/228 is a good cam. That would be my choice

haha my dad had a 228/228 in his camaro and i loved it! But he sold it. but i was thinking something around the same but a little more power on hp and torque. really i just want something that will put out around 400 hp with high torque.
something real fun, but also when it comes time at the track it would haul ***!!
