Question which cam has better lowend torque?

Which cam has better lowend torque; the TR cheaTR cam or TR 224 224 112 (114)?

Looking for good drivability and street power with stock 3.42 gears.

thanks....

224 would be a better choice for lowend. they both have their ups and downs though.

224 has better power range imo.

Depends on the intake centerline. But since most 224 cams are ground with +4 degrees of advance, the 224 cam would have more cylinder pressure and therefore better low end. The CheaTR would surpass it in the high rpm range.

Which sub 220 cam builds the most cylinder pressure on a stock head/displacement LS1?
