I have the 228r and the 5.3 heads. I had TSP mill them to 59cc's and am running a .040 Cometic gasket. Its a nice combo. I like it better than the Torquer V3 that I was running before....not to bag on the T3 its a great cam, too.

Joseph installed the 228R cam & prc 5.3l heads on his brothers friends car with great results. The car made huge gains in 1/4 et & made a additional 80 or so rwhp! I'll see if he can post his experience with it.

I liked the 228R, I decided to get a custom grind in the end but the 5.3 stage 2,5s are nice heads for the money. I havent installed mine yet but they look great.
I didnt mill the heads though...instead im runing .045" cometics for an 11.2:1 static and 8.6:1 dynamic compression ratio...perfect for street use. I am shooting for mid-low 11s myself.
In researching the 228R I found alot of people with it and didnt hear one bad thing about it.

i liked the 228r i had also. with a set of tea 5.3 1.5s and stock 90/90 through an m6 i made 436 rw. on a 114 +2 i would try to get your scr up there to around 11:3-11:5 or so to optomize your setup.

228r cam and TSP stage 1 ls6 heads milled is the combo i have and couldent be happier. Daily driven with 87,000 miles and runs 12.30 at 112, and that was cam only. New nembers comming soon.
#15
anyone have any sound clips that show the difference between the 112 and 114 LSA TSP 228R cam? any drivability issues verse performance gains?
i'm trying to decide between the two cams.
Thanks,
Ray

I have a 228R on a 114LSA with Patriot LS6 heads milled to 59cc. It sounds fantastic and pulls like a freight train. Totally streetable around town AND has a nice lope to it. I have no complaints. Here's a video...
