Default Anyone Tried a TSP 235/240?

I just orderded one. Full specs are 235/240 .602/.598 112. I did a search on the enitre forum and came up blank. I know this isn't a common cam, but I thought someone else might have one. It's supposed to have close to XER lobes, and I'm installing it with a fresh set of Comp 918's. Any comments? Not sure what to expect.

I'd like to see the advetised duration. The cam has 2 diffrent lobes for intake and exaust, so it would be interesting to see which lobes they used. Should be a great performer. It should perform like a G5X-3 since the numbers are similar, but again, since the lobes are diffrent, performance may vary.

Beast, yeah it's close enough to the G5X-3, maybe I should check some posts for that cam.

Nothing real secret about it. They've been posted many times before, but they keep deleting the threads when they are posted. There comp XE-R lobes. One step up from the G5X-2. Don't know why alot of people make a big deal out it.

Well I think it's OK to talk about the G5X-2 specs now since it isn't the latest thing:

232/240 .595/.609 112 XER Lobes

I'm actually using this cam BECAUSE of the 918 springs; the lift is in range for them. If I liked duals, I would have went with the TSP Magic Stick.

Its just that most people would go with dual springs with that big of a lift.

I don't like duals because they are heavy. I think springs hold up better if they are not moving so much weight, and part of the weight that they move is their own weight. And look how much smaller and lighter the retainers are on 918's. I run stock valve sizes for the same reason. That's just MHO. Weird, huh? But I'm not a drag racer, so I have different priorities. In Land Speed racing, I may need to hold peak rpm for 30 seconds to a minute, so I have to think about durability.

About the specs on the G5X-3 I was wondering because of the decision on which cam to go with with the AFRs? If it was posted before I didnt know I am new to this forum. Is there any post that shows power output or graph for torque range? Thanks

CAL, Thanks. Would I have to flycut the pistons with an AFR 205 62cc and the g5x-3? That sounds like a good pwr maker and still streetable, sweet. I just want to make some serious power, close to 500rwhp as possible, and put an a$$kickin on my buddies 03 cobra!
