    Well after all of your posts and Allens helps and Billy's, I've decided to upgrade my cam. I'm more interested in the mid- to top-end than the low end so have decided against a stall converter (for now... ).

    I went to LS1sounds.com and listened to some and I'm thinking a 220 or MAYBE a 230. Opinions? This is my daily driver so I need something kind of moderate.

    For you that have done similar upgrades, what have your experiences been as far as increase in HP? I think Billy said around 45 (?).

    I think I'm going to have to either get a Z06 cam (cheaper than Comp but I believe lower gains, correct?). I may even opt for a used TR (or other) - or a good deal on a new one someone is looking to dump.

    Sorry for the long road of haggling and questions to get me to this decision, but I really appreciate everyones help. Thanks!

    I think I'd do something close to a TR224. Check out BlueCajun's or VV8's specs. Do your cam once and come back later for more parts. I'd try to do a convertor ASAP to take full advantage of the cam.

    Thanks...That's about what I was liking the sound of - something around a 220. I'm pretty naive when it comes to cams, so still looking for more input and doing a lot of reading of old posts (crap, that's giving me an ice-cream headache)...

    If you are willing to wait, I am taking out my TR 224 in the next month or so.
    Gone, but not forgotten!
