Default Narrowed it to 2 TSP cams, don't know which.

I have an m6 98 Z with all supporting mods to include LS6 intake. I'm looking at getting the TSP 228R or the TSP 233/239 cam just looking for the best DD cam. Also do I have to get aftermarket injectors with either cam or is the factory injectors good enough, or do I have to get anything else besides the tune.

My cousin has the 228R in his TA and has ran a best of 11.7x with just cam and full boltons. He has an LS6 intake with 85mm TB and SLP lid and headers a 9.5" TCI 3500 stall and 3.23 gears. He didn't have to install injectors and it drove great. I think he ordered his with a 114 lsa.

the 228R will probably make for a better DD. just due to the nature of the cam.

plenty of people drive cams in the range of the other...including me...but it isn't for everyone.

injectors should NOT be needed untill you upgrade the heads...

just curious why you don't consider the torquer 2(232/234 595/598)?

The 228R is a great all around cam and it is by no means small. Consider that the stock cam is 199/210. The 228 is a big jump in duration. Good choice.

After I purchase my T/A I am considering either the 228r or a custom grind. It already has supporting mods.

Also bear in mind TSP have their new version of the 228R with abit more lift on both intake and exhaust and slightly more duration on the exhaust.
