Next Step Up from TR224? If Any.
Currently running TR224 112 and mods below. Not a DD, mostly a toy and no decent tracks near. Looking for better mid to high rpm power. Will re-stall to 4000. Or, should I just stay with what I got. Maybe a procharger would be good. I like the bigger Thunder Racing cams. Probably in the low 230's, I would guess. Just don't want anyone around here (my towm) to bad mouth late F-Bodies. I have surprised a few already.lol
So, cam change or work toward FI? Oh yeah, I live in Nevada at ~ 5100ft. elevation. Nice air , huh?
Thanks

Dont know how good a FI set up would be on a cam with a 112lsa, If someone knows i'd love to learn i thought it had to be greater then a 114lsa to work properly. But im prolly wrong
You could go with something like an LG cam they are proven cams, if my car was 6speed i prolly would have gotten one myself

Yeah, I thought about and even bought a wet kit. I sold it before using it to fund my 9 inch project. Honestly, I don't want nitrous because 1. It kinda scares me and 2. I want the power/torque any and all the time.
My car is sweet now but you know how it goes with mods.....more,more,more.
Thanks Guys and keep it comin'!!!

MTI X1 is a great choice. Number one thing to keep in mind about FI is $$$. If you haven't read it, there is a great sticky in the FI section about the cost. Futral F13 is another popular 23X cam. With your heads and a high lift F13 you could make some pretty decent power. I would say if your willing to spend dough for a procharger or turbo setup at least give nitrous a try. But as far as the above listed cams, neither are great for nitrous. Need a little more exhaust duration.

Something along the lines of a TSP torquer would be the next step up. Mid 230 cam on a 112 is still streetable but sounds good and makes power, especially coupled with a matched set of heads.

Thanks Guys, not sure what it does on a dyno. No dynos around here either, could go to Salt Lake or Las Vegas though. I asked members here for estimates on rwhp and most were 385-410, which is close I'd guess.
I had thought of PMing Pat G. I will try that. Can anyone tell me his member name?? Sad I don't remember since I have read hundreds of his posts.
Thanks again!!
