TR224/224 is pretty much the benchmark cam on the market.
Get it on a 112LSA, valvesprings, pushrods, and you're good to go.
365-395 rwhp power range, with the most solid tq curve you can see.

Work your way down that list if you want more power.

Give the folks at Thunder a call. They're always helpful.

I love the T-rex. If It was a daily driver, I would have with the trak or cheater. Get the package. Its really worth it. And add gaskets.

tr224 112 lsa numbers in sig, best street cam on the planet regardless of what peak numbers the others might put out if you arent spinning past 6000 rpms they arent better. Do some research and help yourself here.

TR230 110 LSA, Lots of good midrange power. Idles at 850 with tunning. Not good for smog, but great for a 280Z!

Thunder Rocks, Nuff said.
