You wont find better drivability from a nice sized cam then from a Futural motor sports 230/232 114 lsa cam.(they also make a 112 lsa i believe) For a stock cubed motor its killer, i made 75 hp with headers on a ls1!

Sure did, with only 7k miles and I'm not the first. There is another member also at 7k. How about the springs and retainers?

I have a cam only in my 97. It netted me .2 in the quarter without tuning. Its a very small cam. It is noticeable and a little subtle at idle, but not outrageous. As soon as I can afford to get it tuned, I think it will pick up a little more. See sig for specs.
