? best all around street cam ? 224/224

**skar** · 09-11-2006, 02:59 PM

my local dyno guy wants to install a 233/239 (plus)(his own grind ?? cam in my 99SS M6 with new heads. This is a street car nice day only cruiser.
I think that cam is to big. I was thinking more like a 224/224
What do you guys think.

Lunati Voodoo-Magic. I like the reviews, and the satistics on the product. I made the mistake of having SLP build my stroker on my 01 ws6, and blew my shit to kingdom come. If I had the chance to start things off like you. I would prob use that cam. Just do your homework..

Lunati has older lobes that are lazy.

I agree with the 224/224. Sounds good, can make pretty good power, and remains very driveable.

quick question becuase i'm a n00b when it comes to cams..how does a m6 influence a cam choice

I have a TR 230\224 in my car and I love it,very lumpy idle,great driveability and good power across the RPM range.

**Liquifire** · 09-12-2006, 10:10 PM

what LSA are you going with? It won't be too bad if the tune is good, but your tuner will determine ultimately how good drivability will be.

224/228/112 lsa sensational cam grind in my a4,nice lump at idle and heaps of grunt down low.

when you put a cam in, generally you lose alittle h.p/tq down low.
with a stick car you just rev it up alittle higher to get out of 1st and so on.

O.K. I have a stick as well, I have a 228/228, .580/.580, 114 LSA runs like a kitten when cruising and put 419 to the rear wheels with S.A.E. of 1.02 so on a perfect condition day I think that equates to like 427

AND the power band is wide kicks hards at just under 4 grand and continues to impress all the way up to 6800. Going to the track Friday for a first try. Lower control arms need changing and the bushings are gone but I should get an idea I will try to remember to post results.

i have a 224, and I think that you would be more satisfied with a 228/228 grind cam w/a 112lsa. that will give you a nice lope at idle and good power numbers. let us know what you end up going with...
