Default Anyone has this CAM installed?

Does anyone have a 220/224 .581/.581 LSA 115+2

What is the purpose of the +2 on the LSA115?

Or this cam 220/224 .588/.588 LSA114+1

If anyone has either cam; do you have sound clip of it?

Thanks,
Sleeper

my old cam was close. 224/224 .567 lift 115LSA+4. The +2 means it has 2 degrees of advance ground into it. I really liked my old cam. with kooks 1 7/8" headers and 3"xpipe no cats, Vararam, ported throttle body, comcams 1.75 roller rockers(which gave it .581 lift ) and B&B exhaust I made right at 400rwhp/380rwtq on my 2004 LS1 vette...You looking to go smaller with you Auto car?? If so go with the 220/224 .581/.581 LSA 115+2. It will drive and idle nicer than the 220/224 .588/.588 LSA114+1, but not by much. There so close to each other you probably couldn't tell the difference...Something with a +4 would be better for the Auto...

Your current cam 224/224 .567/.567 lift LSA 114 is a good one. Why don't you like it??

used something real close to that, good blower cam and also makes for a good DD car

SGreen4067 has a 224 cam in his '02 coupe, 380rwhp through the stock manifolds/cats, cam only motor

My first cam was real close to that 220/224 .581/.581 LSA 115+2 and i made 400RWHP and 400RWTQ!

My new cam numbers should be done tomarrow, tranny issues set me back till this day!


My latest cam sounds like this:

I had the cam that you are talking about except mine was on a 115+0. It had a slight lope with the idle set at 850.

I have a video but it will be Saturday before I can get to my other system to upload it.

Is that the one in your car now, or the one close to the 220/224? It does sound good

Deno - If your friend thinks your cam has too much lope - he better stick to a stock cam


Madmatt - what are the specs on your cam? Talk about a "sleeper"

I will have that information in full today after the final Dyno numbers!

I was being held up by my Tranny solenoids (Couple threw some codes and needed to be replaced-New Yank 3200 and filter change might of helped to aid the cloggs!)

All is good now and I'm dropping it off to have the final nubers done!

Thanks for the compliments

Thanks,Matt

Are any of these comparable to what I have?

224/228 .581/.588 HR114+1

I'm still learning about my car. My brother did all the performance work and I just bought it from him.

Nope not yet. Ive been wanting to get some sound clips and post them. He said that its turned out to be a very good cam thats consistently provided good power for several set ups that HPT has done. I dont know how they came up with it. Ill try to get some sound posted soon cuz I love it with the Corsas. I was trying to get some idea of how this compares to the other popular cams that are out there.
