i know everyone's got different opinions about how streetable a particular setup is, but i guess i'm just looking for some opinions. i've only got a hughes 2500 stall...currently with a 224/244 .532 lift custom grind in my 383 daily driver. i've got things torn down for something else and trying to decide about going bigger while things are apart. these are the kind of questions i have. will my current stall be at least decent if i make the jump to 230/236 .57x (these are the numbers for one of the Comp XFI cams i've got in mind) ? also, if i go to .570's on lift, am i asking for more maintenance issues down the road vs. staying with the smaller cam i have now? i guess what i'm saying is that since it's still more or less a daily driver for me (have to haul around kids and stuff here and there and drive it around town) i can't afford for it to be unreliable or always in the shop for something. should i not go bigger for these reasons or will it still be a car i can rely on and easily drive around town?

 

With a stroker a huge cam would be fine, more inchs more tq! But in this case the cam you have selected should be fine, especially with an auto.

 

you don't think that cam will go to sleep with my 2500 around town?

 

only thing that will go down is ur gas mileage i have a le2 cam which looks similar to those specs and i drove it everyday for a year and a half straight with no problems i just did the regular plug and wire change once a year, but remember its all in the tune as well

 

I got that cam in the .544/.555 lift 112 LSA and I'm making some good power 421 RWHP 401 RWTQ.

 

No, but I'll bet that cam would like a 3200 stall a lot better, and still be fine as a DD.

 

I have a 230/236 56x/57x 112lsa cam right now and drive it everyday. Tune by Madz28.com (Ion) and have no problems what so ever. I have a M6 now but did have a A4 with stock stall, it bucked pretty good at idle but was definatley drivable drove it like that for about 5 months before getting a T56. Great cam, good sound!

 

I have a 236/242 .550 .570 and I had some surge issues but I believe that its related to my tune. I unplugged the o2's and it drives fine.
