Would This Be A Good Sixe Cam For A 99 Camaro?228/228 588'588'on A 112lsa
How Would It Sound?or How Would It Work Out?

Sure would, needs some good exhaust on it though.

to small IMHO for a car but does work well for a DD

It depends on the owners preference and definition of small, big, DD, etc.

THe bigger the cam isn't always better, I'm sure you've heard this 1,000 times.
This reply isn't to debate the cam, it's just to let Lambo know that bigger isn't better and I bet that car has great street manners (or will soon) and really gets up and goes on the street with that cam.

Take for example, I had an '08 LS3 vette in here, had a big ass nasty cam from another shop installed, made 441hp if I remember right.
Cruise control sucked, it would buck, low rpm sucked, it would surge and buck, mostly due to the nature of the cam.
We had a custom cam spe'cd out, we installed it, it was much smaller and much more of a daily driver.
The cam allowed the car to stretch out to 6700rpms vs 6100 with the old cam and made 468hp!! The car was quicker and a better daily driver with a smaller cam.
The only the thing the larger cam had over the smaller cam was it made a little more torque in the mid range, which didn't matter, because at WOT this car didn't get any traction anyway, so it actually felt faster with more traction and less torque.

Another example, my car runs a 12.12 with cam, headers, stall, we did another GTO the same way but with a 224/224 cam, he runs a 12.10, my car has a 228/230.

Some cars runs good with big cams, others better with small cams, it's all about the customer and what he wants.

Just like when a customer asks "which charger is better" I tell them it depends on their application and how they plan on using the vehicle, vs, what most shops say "oh hell the procharger can support 1,000hp and blah blah, you need that one!" (but the truck ends up being a raised 4x4 with 40's lol, and needs all the lowend torque it can get.

Which leads me to, I hate seeing truck articles with these big, nice fancy trucks that probably weigh 7,000lbs with stereo equipment, roll bars, lights, 40's, etc and they have a P1SC procharger on it with a stock trans and stock converter lol. Maybe it's just for the bling factor, who knows.

I have a 220/220 .581/.581 0n a 115 for sale?

some cams suck compared to others. a 224 from TSP wont net you the same performance as the TR 224. a 228 has a nice linear powerband but does die out on top.

i stated my opinion, i just wouldnt waste my time installing that cam.

you being a tuner you know that more time you play wiht a cam the better it runs and drives. Drivabilty all comes from the tune

Allen is right--the size and specs of the cam has everything to do with the supporting bolt-ons (stall, intake, exhaust, etc), as well as the size of the motor. For example, you can't put a 228/228 .588/.588 cam on a LS1 with a stock CAI and stock manifolds. Well, you can, but it will not breathe as well as one with a LID and LT headers. From what I have seen, the 4.8L and 5.3L motors love a higher duration than a matching lift. This has to do with the flow of the heads. The 6.0L motors do not respond as well to a cam with higher duration numbers...

Damm I Had The Specs Wrong Guys Its A 228/228 588'588' 112 Lsa<<<<HOW DOES THAT SOUND?I TOLD HIM HE SHOULD JUST GO CUSTOM GRIND
