Default Cams??

Is anyone running the torquer v3 cam, tsunami, or 228 r cams with long tubes? If so how much whp are you getting and how is your drive ability? I like the sound of the tsunami and v3 better but am afraid I will lose mpg and drivability!

I love my 228R, great driveable and runs great. I'm not going to say my HP, it just is so subjective.

if drivibility is high on your concern, i'll go no higher than 235/235 even that's on the high side, but thats based on my tolerance

224/230 XFI no driveabilty issues and makes power everywhere. RPM Motors hooked me up and twenty thousand miles later not one issue.
