i was looking for cams on ebay and came across this, i would take the 226 and was wondering if it would be as just as good as the thunder racing one i was looking at? what do you think? [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-LS1-LS6-Patriot-Camshaft-your-choice-of-cam-size\_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33614QQitemZ8060173969QQrdZ1](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-LS1-LS6-Patriot-Camshaft-your-choice-of-cam-size_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33614QQitemZ8060173969QQrdZ1) I also found this one, [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COMP-CAMS-273-XTREME-XE-R-LS1-LS6-CAMSHAFT-54-444-11\_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33614QQitemZ8061131096QQrdZ1](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COMP-CAMS-273-XTREME-XE-R-LS1-LS6-CAMSHAFT-54-444-11_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33614QQitemZ8061131096QQrdZ1) both are cheaper than the thunder racing cam, which one do you think will make the most power and still be fairly streetable? ---

get a new o ring for your ported oil pump its like 3 bucks but nice ot have a new one !! the ported ls6 pump i had worked GREAT and also see what the price difference is on the rollmaster dual timming chain. that rollmaster was the only thing that held my motor together long enough to get my car to a dealor !! ---
