TR230 Vs. MS3 For summer driver Hey Everyone.
Ive currently got a TR230/224 Cam, and im trying to figure out if im better off w/ a MS3 Cam.
The car is a '89 iroc-z, 3100lbs, w/ a '99 LS1. It has 241 casting heads, LS6 intake, ASP underdrive, Stainless works LT's, T56 w/LS7 Clutch, CAI, LS6 MAF etc.
The car is my daily driver in the summer, though i dont drive daily haha. It sees driving most days.
Im looking to determine which cam will provide me best "under the curve" power, though id like a decent peak too (Aiming to be Very low 12's to high 11's)
Im perfectly fine with revv'n it up a bit to get goin & moving up the RPM a bit for my power, but i just want the car to be very responsive to daily driving, and to come out of the hole pretty quick.
Aim is 385+ Rwhp, 370+rwtq
Thanks!

cam I have done extensive research with the same outcome......................TR230/224 hands down for what you want. It's proven time and time again. Same curve as the 224/224 but with more on top and a great lope. The stick, a great cam too, will be too much hassle to daily drive like you want. I have one waiting to go in myself. Just my two cents............

I have the TR230 and love it. Pulls from 2k all the way to 6.3k or so. I raced a MS3 with heads (I have heads too) and put a car on it and kept pulling. I also had an ls1 intake and he had a ls6.

which TR230 are you guys reffering to? the reverse split one? or the split pattern??
"Reverse Split" - 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA
"Split Pattern" - 230/236 .592/.602 112 LSA
Any piston notching needed?

the TR230 is a proven bad *** daily driver street cam. i havent seen any regrets with anybody running the 230/224 cam. ive seen people who had that cam and got rid of it cuz they wanted bigger, but when they went bigger they missed the under the curve it made.
