Is he doing any other mods to the car? With a street car I'd probably choose the 2nd cam, but I'd also be upgrading intake, exhaust, heads, and such to maximize a cam change.
P.S. Sarge - like the avatar change.

the first thing you should recommend your friend is to swap out that stock converter. I would then look at going larger with the cam. What are your guys tuning resources like over there? With a good tune a 228 is a great driving cam and can be a nice bruiser on the street.

Any initial recommendations on a grind? I'll do some research to refine...
I've found a young kid in the next town with pole barn where I work on my baby (he has frame lift as well).
He's got an 05 he's rebuilding with several forged parts and supercharger. I'm more about rights and left vs straingh line. Rebuilt the suspension with pedders and dropped her an inch with new struts and shocks.Last edited by The Silver Goat; 01-22-2011 at 12:21 PM.
