Couple of Qs:

What is your goal?
Why did you select that cam?
What are your bolt ons?
Why the comp Rs?

Well I want it streetable (even if it's a weekend car). I was going with the TR224 but I found a TR227 for sale on the board and at the time (well, last week) i just thought it would be a little more powerfull than the 224, I didn't know what reverse splt cam mean.. Everybody ask me why I go with this cam, are there any kind of problems? As far I know (not much) reverse split cams need good flowing exhaust, is this correct? The other bolts are lid, FTRA, LS6 oil pump, Ls6 intake, 4.10's, pacesetters LT's, catted Y pipe, slp dual dual catback. I'm going with comp R because evrerybody are happy with them.

suggestions?

<---- Scratches head.. Comp R's ? I think you would be way better off with 850's unless your going adjustable rockers.
I don't care what anyone says, Comp says R's are made for adjustable rockers only and who would know better than the maker.

btw, nice setup otherwise..

I hear that people have problems with comp r's and you might even be better off with stock.

So 850's would be the best for this setup?

You definitely do not want Comp R's, especially since you're running a very conservative cam. Those lifters are only made for adjustable rockers and i'm not sure they even work too well that way. i had them and they turned out to be nothing but loud noise and a pain in the ***. Get the 850's.
