I have a TR224 and love it. I don't know about the other cam. The 114las will bring the HP higher up in the rpm range. The tr224 is a hard cam to beat and has a great record. I ran 12.1 @ 117 with a bad clutch & tranny Cam only with the TR224.

TR = Thunder Racing. Look up Pat G on here and tell him your goals. He will custom spec you a TR cam. They will even Cam Doctor it for you so you know EXACTLY what the specs are.



Quick Reply: Cam choice TR 227/224-114 or TR 224/224-112
