Im pretty new @ this. I read its best to have power under the curve. If so would the tr 224 112 or 114lsa be good? If not whats cam is good for keeping some of the power under the curve or what not?

Under the curve power is useable power for daily driving. At the drag strip, or for roll racing, peak power is better, because you're staying over 4500rpms.
TR224 is a great "under the curve" cam, as power and tq come on strong very low in the rev range. So, for immediate response, or for a stoplight race where you're not leaving at 5K rpms (like when you're sitting at the tree at the strip), more like when you're launching below 3K rpm, the TR224 will shine. And the beauty of this cam, is that it actually has a healthy pull trough the upper mid and high end- just not as much high end as a larger cam.

^he's right. the more duration your cam has the more your power band will move up.

i think the 112 is what you're looking for.

AFR cam 224/228 581.588@114, part #6016

The torque curve is flat and even though i only dynoed at 416rwhp, I pull on alot of cars with bigger cams than me on the highway. I also have AFR 205s.

Only 416rwhp? You poor thing.

As you have found out, 416 & a flat torque curve is a contender. No doubt about it.

comp,tr,lunati,and t1 are the cams you're looking for and you'll be happy with any of the four all about the same cam

You named 2 engine component companies, a race shop who has proprietary grinds, and one specific grind from MTI.
Yeah, all 4 are about the same cam.
