Default Cam Decisions...

The time is here and I am gathering stuff for a cam (already bought the pushrods) and I was wanting some opinions. I was kind of pondering the LPE GT2-3 cam and the TR224 cam. I am planning on getting either a 2800 or 3000 stall so what are some opinions on cam choice?

If I go FI, it won't be for a while (year or more). I like the GT2-3 for its sleeper characteristics but I'm guessing the TR224 might give more power...

If you're not boosted, the GT2-3 isn't worth the swap over a 224.

Id call and get a custom cam. They dont cost anymore, and youre getting a cam designed for your application, but thats just MHO

P.S. Tyler, you are partly responsible for me wanting a cam...
