E-mail Thunder racing. They will get you fixed up with what is needed. I'm not sure what angle the 224/230 comes on (112/114), but you can get whatever you want custom through thunder. www.thunderracing.com You'll see better gains with the XE, plus every joe has a hotcam kit, and their cars ain't nothin speacial.

If my budget wasnt so tight and I didnt ned to by aradiator as well I would go with that but I need everything shipped for like under 600 that means roller rockers, springs and accesories for springs as well as cam I would do it if it was under 600 but Ive tried to price out everything in different ways and the only one in budget is hotcam

The hotcam would be classified as old to. There compared to the 305. You can chage the LSA (lobe seperation angle) to get better idle. 112=lope, 114=kinda smooth,you can still tell theres somethin though, 116= pretty damn smooth, close to stock. Bad thing is, the more LSA, the more power you loose.
Why would you lose more power by going with more LSA? I thought that more LSA will you give you a broader and more usable powerband? If it does lose power, how much?

Huh??? how do you figure that. I've been running a 306 for awhile and it is an awesome cam. Yes, it is lopey, and it does take away more vacuum, but who cares. It is a fantastic cam and it is completely streetable, no gears or tc necessary, but it does need good tuning and probably a good set of heads and exhaust to get the most out of it.
