Cam size?
Ok I'm trying to figure out which one of these two cams (below) will provide the most power. I was told the 224/228 would make less power. I don't know anything about them so I looking for everyone else's .02. Thanks
224/228 .581/.588 112
224/224 .581/.581 112

I am not sure as to whether one will deliver more power over the other or not but I would think the split duration cam is not necessary if you are not running forced induction. I would go with either a 228/228 .588/.588 cam or a 224/224 .561/.561 run it on a 112 or 114 LSA, I am a N/A guy though I dont plan on Forced induction in my future. just my .02$

your single pattern cams make more mid range. they have a narrow rpm range.
the split pattern cams have a longer rpm range. they don't make as much peak, but carry it out longer. which is why you never see a single pattern cam in a factory assembled motor.
look at it this way, would you rather have a short penis, or a long penis?Cold Air Intake, Muffler Delete, Vinci High Performance Dual Valve Springs, Hardened Pushrods, Yella Terra 1.85 Rockers, Some Hydropdipped Stuff, Strut Tower Brace, Some SS Badges, boost/vacuum gauge, fuel pressure gauge, some checkered stripes, drilled/slotted rotors, ZL1addons Stealth wickerbill, Ruxifey LED side markers

You need to specify your engine and what is done to it.
One cam will act completely different in 2 different motors.
That is why you can get a much better gain when doing a cam swap by getting one ground to your engine and exactly what your trying to accomplish.
If you spend a half hour or so doing some searches with the search in the tool bar you will find MANY links to tech articles that will help educate you on cam specs and there functions on the performance.Don't be afraid of the bottle!!! Be afraid of your tune!!!

I will be running a split cam. the specs on my cam are 228I 238E and 595 lift on both with a 112 LSA. I Chose this cam after doing some research with the head tech at Crane. He said it would make great midrange power and travel all the way up through the rpm range.

ok here is the setup I'm going with (if this helps):
CNC Stage 2 heads 59 cc
cam-224/228 .581/.588 112
224/224 .581/.581 112
ceramic hooker lt's
hooker y pipe
I've got a couple other suspension mods, tires, and other mods to go along with this. I was told I could be getting into the 11's. True?
