I have the TSP 228r on the 114 LSA with the stock LS6 heads. You can tell by my signature what this cam is capable of with the stock LS6 heads. My gas mileage is worse by 1-2 mpg than it was with my stock LS1 engine.

Never had any problems or driveably issues, and the mid range power is great. An all around proven performer.

My best time to date is 12.18 @ 115 with a 1.86 60ft. the 1/8th mile was 7.83 @ 88.Done at san antonio raceway. I love the stall it drives like stock with no bucking or surging. My cam only was 336HP on the mustang dyno. Its funny your thinking of spraying, i am in the process of looking to do the same. Any more questions let me know.

thanks bro , i'm looking at getting the vrx3 cam . it is very close to the cam you have. a 3200 circle d stall , lt's , ls6 with ported tb, and a 150 shot. i'm looking for a solid 10.9x-11.00 pass . if you spray you should be in the same place i am looking to be. that is why i am so intrested . do you have any suspension mods ? what kind of tires were you running on the car? how much did you pick up when you put the stall in the car ?

The stall help me pick up 1.5 tenths and dropped my 60ft from 2.0 to 1.90 on brand new street tires with out the gears. On that set up i ran 12.50 on the the street tires. When I did gears and ran the mickey drag radials at 18lbs i hit 12.30 on a 1.80 60ft. The car has always been on the stock WS6 suspension from day one not even subframe connectors.
