Reverse Split Cams are there any benefits to having a reverse split cam? for an all motor car with most bolt-ons and at the most STG 1 heads would they put out more power than a cam with same duration and same lift.
230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA vs. TR224 .563/.563 112 LSA
Thanks for any help that yall can give me

With the TR230 you would get a little more top end than the TR224. Plus you would be spinning the TR230 a little bit more. IMO the TR230 is a good cam for the performance you can get out of stock heads, if the heads arent stock then you should go bigger.

Me car runs pretty good with a TR 230/224 @ 3500+ lbs race weight.

wether you run a standard or reverse split camshaft really depends on how well your heads flow.
People have shown that TEA heads do better with single pattern and reverse splits than they do with traditional split cams. This is attributed to how efficient our exhaust ports are. Different heads need different cams to obtain that ideal relationship of intake and exhaust flow.
