I need opinions... (CC224/228 vrs. TR224)
I was planning on doing a 6.0 swap in the near future but looks like that will have to wait for now. I currently have a 212/218 cam and in my 5.3 and was considering going with a larger cam. I have a 224/228 581/588 114 sitting in my garage but I have now I am considering just going with TR224. What would the difference be between these two cams and is it enough to justify selling the 224/228 and looking for a TR224? My main concern is the longer exhuast duration. I am afraid to loose too much low end and the high lift putting a strain on my 918's.
I want to maintain drivability of my truck since my wife will be driving it once in a while now that we sold the beater.
I plan to keep my 5.3 n/a btw.

I have been running the 224/228 for about three years now. I have been very pleased with it. I had the same concerns that you do about the exhaust duration, but my car is a 2000 A4 and makes 400TQ N/A and ran 7.01 last weekend. It is also a daily driver, so I would use the 224/228 that you have. I think you will be pleased with it assuming the rest of your combination is working good.

Check out their truck and suv camshaft section.
