Dynamometer Results & Comparisons - Tr224 numbers

The first graph was with old cam, second is the Tr224. I think some exhaust work is needed, but had transmission problems on the way home. Torque is really what amazed me, nice gain.

what was your old cam?

Well...It was from former MTI in Houston. I was told it was a 216/220 with .522 lift on 116lsa. This is debatable because I purchased it from them and they installed it. Now that I have done the swap my self I have the cam in hand to get some numbers.

Almost the same numbers considering that torque spike at the beginning of the graph. Slight torque gain. I'd be skeptic of those old cam specs. Were these SAE numbers? Were they on the same dyno?

doesnt seem like it was worth it for the gains seen...

$300 (cam)
$300 (install)
$50-100 (retune)

approx --- $700, unless you did the install yourself...

Install was done myself. Since the horsepower and torque were close to the same the tuner told me there was probably a restriction in the exhaust. This was done on the same dyno.

Not bad, I would just invest some coin in a set of Kooks or TSP headers and ditch the Mac's.

Heres an overlay of the other graphs...

Heck yea that would have been worth paying for. I was really impressed with gains from Jethot longtubes on my last car.

My old T/A with basically the same setup, Stage I heads, TR224, TCI 3500 stall, did 392/373 RWHP/RWTQ but with 1 3/4 Pacesetters, ORY, and a catback. You may pick up another 10 RWHP changing to an ORY setup w/LT's, but I wouldn't expect much more.

I dunno going from a cam on a 116lsa to the 112 would be worth it for me gotta love that choppy idle.... not to mention he's putting down more torque than most larger cams bet she pulls like a sob

WHOA WHOA WHOA. $300 for an install. What performance shop does a cam swap for that?? ...or any shop for that matter. If you know one up there in Dallas, let me know.

Thats exactly what I said lol

More like 600+ dollars for install.

Track video, needs exhaust work for better numbers.

When mine was installed 3yrs ago it was $300. I don't know what the price is now

Look up juan his username is sux2bu I think. he did a cam install for $300 about six months ago

I love my TR224 cam. Car put down 38Xrwhp/370rwtq cam only and went 12.1 @ 117. :) Haven't got any times since the heads and some suspention mods.

Is this cam a 224 also 218 224 550 550 116 lsa is this cam gonna be quiet also {sleeper}
And how much will I gain with that cam on a stock car?

Well most of the "224" cams are the same duration intake and exhaust like..

224/224 .563/.563 ----Thunder Racing
224/224 .581/.581 ----TSP

These are probably the most popular ones but everyone makes one that is similar.

That would be called a 218/224 cam. The TR224 is a well known & proven cam by thunder racing.

How much will I gain from this cam?
Will it be choppy?

Shouldn't be choppy. results will not be a lot. ~20rwhp?
