Dynotune Results: TR224 No dyno tricks on a hot day in San Antonio, Tx. So these are my real world numbers. I am happy with the numbers, now i just need to see what i can do with it. I gained 46 rwhp and 29 rwtq.
pervious numbers minus cam were 340 rwhp and 349 rwtq
uncorrected 386.8 rwhp 377.8 rwtq
corrected 379 rwhp 370 rwtq
my A/F ratio is running smooth along 13. if anybody can host some dyno pics for me let me know.

Andrew, Congrats on that cam man! I know you got it for an awesome deal im sure it was a great investment 
his corrected numbers should be around 378rwhp but im not quite sure.
I saw the dyno graph and noticed something weird. His cam is making peak rwhp at the rev limit! It seems like the tuner did not change the rev limiter settings and its still at 6000. I was thinking the tuner needs to raise the rev limit up higher. In other words, andrew would probably shift at 5900rpms when racing (to avoid hitting the rev limiter) but then he will never be able his car's PEAK rwhp numbers
.
I would suggest for Andrew to go back and raise the rev limiter to 6400rpms at least that way he will spin his motor a little more and shift at 6200 taking advantage of his peak rwhp figure a little before its time to shift (leaving 200 rpms as a measure of safety). What good is it to shift a little sooner? He cant keep tapping the rev limiter everytime anyway and that might even slow him down. Either way the rev limiter needs to go higher. My rev limiter is set at 6700rpms on my car but I shift at 6500 (although i have the TR224 114 cam - bigger LSA)
Anyone agree to what Im saying? we need some more experienced feedback here and help my buddy go faster
. I could be wrong on my advise but I kinda doubt it. Wish I could see the graph more closely to judge but as far as i see its still climbing from 5500 all the way to 6000.
Good news is you might be making your peak rwhp at 6200rpms so you might be able to do even better. Only way to know is to dyno it.
Either way, enjoy your new cam and good luck on your future mods

Ok I did a little more thinking about this.. did you go with stronger pushrods upon cam purchase?
You will need better rods if you want to rev you car up higher (i did it to be on the safe side but my rev limit is at 6700). I figured maybe you did the cam install at the same place you dynoed the car and maybe the tuner thought you dont want to go higher than 6000 on the stock pushrods as they might bend?

yah i got the hardend pushrods from TR racing and valve springs to handle the lift so i should be able to shift at 6700 where the cam claims to end its powerband. Corey (my tuner) told me that he set the rev limiter at 6500 and i should be shifting at 6200-6300. can u tell by the dyno that its not set that way?

They dyno sheet shows the curve stopping at 6000 not 6500 or over?
See attached.. I found this somewhat confusing.. but i might be wrong..
Good Numbers for your mods! The TR224 is a great cam for a daily driver that likes power also. For best results shift at 6400-6500rpms with the TR224.
