Default 40rwhp+ Gains From New 225 Camshaft--->
Here's a quick graph of the new 225 camshaft we've been helping to develop. The camshaft features fast ramps & aggressive lift to produce awesome power for such a small camshaft. The test car is a bolt on automatic car with the following mods:
225/225 .589/.589 112+2
Automatic
Headers
Rumbler Catback
TSP Lid
Stock T.b.
Ls6 intake
TSP Tuning before & After


Not bad for a 225 cam

awesome numbers. i would also like to know. i am sure it is unlocked looking at the rpm shutoff point. most locked dynos are way high rpm. nice low peaking cam. you feel it is that much better than a 224 duration xer grind (the standard it seems lately)?

It looks like it makes barely over stock torque.

Will there more or less of a gain with an m6 car with similar mods?

Did you record any figures after the cam install, but before the tuning?

There's a new thread near the top of this page with another car's results with this camshaft and the new 5.3L race heads, and a graph is included

Trevor I'd like to see a graph of this cam with a descent head and a 4000+ converter if you guys dyno one. I have the 228R and would like to know what kinda of performance difference I'd see between the two.

M6 cars only put down 5% more HP and TQ than A4's. Do the math. It made 374 RWHP and 364 RWTQ. In a M6 it would make 19 more RWHP and 18 more RWTQ. This would equate to 393 RWHP and 382 RWTQ. Not a big deal in my book. There are a lot of guys making these numbers or more with a smaller cam.

Just my opinion so all you TSP fans can chill out. I like them as well.
