head/cam kit

[Transamsfast]

if you want a stall, do like a yank (or have mike ridings build you one)3600-4000 if you still wanna daily drive it

[Phantom409]

This is oly my opinion but on what I have read a 110-118 LSA (Lobe Seperation Angle) is what you would wnat to stay with for decent driving.

If you get the lobes to close together like 109 or less you will run into vacume problems and that will cause breaking problems.
You can buy a vacume pump to help with this but why do it if you don't have to.

In my LT-1 I have a 108 LSA and I have JUST enough vacume to run my breaks.
I'm right on the edge

A Vengeance racing "vindicator" cam and TFS 215's would make killer power!

I love the tfs heads but the bad thing is you have to buy aftermarket rockers.

cam is kinda big for daily driving
those FAST parts are not necessary
neither is under drive

[JoeliusZ28]

yea i think that cam is really big for daily driving actually. Heck, mines gonna be smaller than that and im afraid mine will want too many RPMs for a stock block (but i have an LT1). anything in the high 230s is gonna do some bucking and surging. Remember what some people consider driveable is probably not what you would consider that.

Jons torquer V3 which, IIRC, is 231/234 probably has more surge than you would want, but an automatic would help absorb it. Check into that cam, i would go no bigger than that.

also check out this thread i stickied a few months back. It really helps explain a lot of the basics.
http://www.mifbody.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=14551

To put it in cliff notes however, driveability is primarily based on overlap. More overlap = less driveability. Overlap can be made with a large duration, such as a 240 range cam, or a tight LSA, such as a 106. (or obviously both). If you want a cam that doesnt rev to the moon, but still chops, then go with a smaller duration cam with a tighter LSA. Most shelf cams are 112 which i believe to be pretty conservative. Even beyond that you can advance or retard the cam to make more low end or top end power.

I think a cam in the high 220s with a 112 LSA would be good for you. I dont know how crazy you are though.

[1BADAIR]

cams in the low to mid 230's still drive like stock. If not the tuner sucks!
That cam is a little big but would probably make 460+ with an auto.
TFS with a 226/228(VRX3) and the mods listed would probably pull 440+ and drive like a caddy.
If you really want to wake it up have TEA port the TFS's

Agreed. Jeff's car has a cam VERY similar to the cam you listed Liz and the car drives very good and has no bucking or surging

mileage would suffer and a larger convertor would be needed with that cam though.
with the 226/228 it would still get mid 20's MPG I would think

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I'm happy with how my car drive because it has a great tune, it actually still bucks at around 46mph with my foot off the gas but hardly ever, the gas milage isn't stellar but thats not what I'm out for either
