Anyone else out there, with an auto. running the TSP 231/237 on an 112lsa.. If so what kind of tuning is required & who done the tuning? How does the car act on stock tuning?

horrendous on stock tuning...i had to turn the idle screw the entire way to just get the car to semi idle my 40 mile drive to cartek for the tune...still having issues to be worked out shorty hopefully

after looking over your mods Id stay stick with a smaller cam...even the tsp 225 i think would do a good job and give you a good amount of lope. With your size converter I just dont think it would be a great match tq wise and you'd probably be better off going a little smaller with faster rate ramps on the lobes. That cam would probably make as much if not more tq especially down low then the 231/237 JMHO.

Well I have already ordered it... I am going to get it tuned... I was just curious how bad it was going to be. BTW did you drill the hole in your throttle body bigger? Or would that even help?

most good tuners dont need to drill out the tb larger, nor would they want you to, fwiw i didnt and my car idles great. Your gears will make up for part of the fact that youve got a small converter, but knowing what i know now I think in my shoes i wouldve gone smaller cam wise & larger in converter.

Thanks for the advice. But for some reason after I heard my buddies car Ive been hooked on the TSP 231/237.. I know that you can get smaller cams to idle like this one... But Ive also reads the #s on the cam... & I had to have the biggest one I could buy without buying new pistons & etc.

you sound like i did...some tried to tell me to stay smaller and i didnt listen...personally I think i couldve gotten better #'s with a smaller cam...but your right the sound is addictive and im sure it has a completely different lope then some of the cams with harsher lobes...just from experience I think there are better choices out there.

My car drives pretty good on the stock tune with that cam. I had to drill two holes in the throttle plate and play with the idle screw a bit but now it's okay. It doesn't like hot start-ups but other than that driveability is fine for me. I'm sure it's running rich and down on power without the tuning but for now it works. Good luck.

Running 231/237 on home tune with edit , idles great at 650-700 hot /cold. only problem some surge/jerk at 36-41 mph ( can not understand which/how to adjust for this ) friend adjust tc lockup to stop problem for now , but must be better way

Are you in D or OD when this happens??

i get bucking in both D & OD so i just keep it in od and try not to get caught in the 45-50mph range much

I am running this cam and on a stock tune it would suck. A good tune is definitely helpful with idle and surging. Jason did my tuning and of course did a great job. I put down 377RW on the last dyno. You can get away with 3.73's and a 3500 but if you spend a lot of time at the track, you should think about going with a larger stall. Shift extensions will be higher and you will take better advantage of the power your making.

I go to the track maybe Once or Twice a month on average... I want be going back until I get this cam installed.. Also (Brian @ Texas Speed & Performance) About how much will a tune run me?

A mail order tune is $250. Jason's done plenty of 231/237 cams, so he should have no problem getting you fixed up.
