My new TR 220/200 .553/.553 112 LSA kit cam will be here tomorrow and will be installed in about two weeks. I'll ditch the Superchips tuner and have the car dyno tuned ... also will do a ported throttle body and LS6 intake.

With this combined package and the basic mods in my sig, what can I expect for RWHP/RWTQ? Also, do you think I did the right choice for my very first cam or do you think this custom grind is too mild?

Is your car an Auto or 6 speed? I ran that cam in my 6 speed car with headers, offroad Y-pipe, no ASP pulley, no cutout, stock TB, and stock tuning. In that configuration it made 380rwhp. I added a set of Patriot 5.3 stage II heads, pulley, and cutout and it jumped to 416rwhp 392rwtq on the stock tune. The TR220 is a great cam!! It drove wonderfully even on the stock tune in my car.

Sorry I didn't specify. Thanks for replying. Do you think this is a good grind?

I think it is an EXCELLENT grind! The only thing I would do different is get it ground on a 114lsa, but that's just a matter of personal idle preferance in an A4 car.

That'll be a great cam for you. I had my TR220 on a 114, but I bought it used so I had to take what I could get. My buddy now has it in his 5.3 and it idles very well. I liked mine, but wanted to go bigger.

I was afraid that I had not gone wild enough on the duration, but, I was comfortable with the lift. The separation angle was also a major concern. According to your experiences with this grind, I feel real comfortable now. Thanks ya'll.

Just an FYI:



It's y'all NOT ya'll

No, it's ya'll in East Tennessee to us mountain-folk type farm boys. When you can tell me you've ploughed with a mule, we'll sit down and talk about harnesses, swingle trees, and clevices ... over a nice ice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Ever found well water with a devining rod? Or put silage behind the old radiators in school to smell up the classrooms/hallways and run everybody outside? Ever guarded a watermelon patch with 12-gauge high-collared brass packed with rock salt? Believe me, it's ya'll. At least you didn't have to carry up water from the springhouse in the winter time. Your picture shows you had a water tower. I guess we were uptown in the country where I'm from. Hell, we had a TWO seater outhouse.

I had that cam and loved it. My car made 366rwhp with that cam and bolt ons through closed exhaust. I think you will be in the 350-360 range with the cats. Possible 365 with a cutout

FWIW : that combo with a vig 3200 + 16 nitto drs went 11.7 all day full weight
Its a nice stealthy setup for sure

Got my cam kit from Thunder Racing today. What kind of numbers do you think I will make with Nitto's and no converter? I've spent too much cash on it already and the converter is just not possible right now. Think I can break into the high 11's? Hopefully, it will at least be close.

GOD I HATE THAT WATERTOWER. I see it everytime I go to Cincy. GO bigger on the cam man. G5X2 and springs. Do it right the first time.

Anyone else have any advice on this particular grind and what it will do? Can I go with a larger rocker set and would that gain me enough to be worth spending the money on them?

You'll be hard pressed to run any good times without a converter...they are almost a requirement for good track times. My buddy with a big cam and S2 MTI heads and all the boltons minus a converter could only muster up a 12.4, FWIW. The cam will be good for a while. You may want bigger in the future, but not everyone wants a huge cam the first time around.

I think u will be happy with the cam u got. Atleast try it and if u don't like go bigger.
I'm putting the comp cam 222/224@.50 .566/.568 112 in my 02 Z28 M6 and i'm hoping for 390rwhp with LT,pulley,TB,true duals, and this cam.

That grind is pretty close to my B1 specs (221/.558/114lsa), and the 112 lsa will bring the peak power down so you wont have to rev so high. My car with the B1, midlength headers, pulley, lid, cutout, and ported MAF made 380rwhp/360rwtq at 6400-6500. If your wondering how it might sound, visit my cardomain website.

I have a 224/228/114 0.578 lift cam. Dyno # 383/rwhp and 380/rwtq. Torq curve is flat from 3200 rpm to 6500 rpm.

get that dyno first and well have a better assesment of what you'll do with the cam installled and tune.

and i think this cam is a perfect fit with the rest of your mods.

Your advice and comments are appreciated. I'm getting the dyno and the three drag strip runs, as well. I'll post the and then I'm having the cam installed Afterwards, I'll post the new numbers. Again thanks for your help and for all that you contribute both here and in other forums.
