I'm happy w/ my 231/237 and mine did come w/ a Cam card. Cam was bought from TSP. #'s are in Sig. This thing just pulls and pulls. What do most of u guys have ur rev limiters set at? I pulled mine up to 6800 on the dyno and it was making power past that. To be safe, the guys at the shop left the rev limiter at 6600 and I shift at about 6500. I've been told this cam makes power past or to 7000 rpm.
i been running my cam for over a year and like it. im on a mail order tune havent had it dynied tuned yet. i think there is a little more left in it. back in november i put down with stock gear and 10 bolt 420/391N/a in 50-60deg weather. and 12.3 droping to 11.6 at end for A/F. dynoed yesterday at a new shop here that had dynojet guy seting up the new dyno i put down 403/381N/A with a moser 9in rear 35spine axles and 4.11 gear. shop air temp was 107 and humity was 47%. and still rich A/F and same mail order tune

Since I last posted in this thread, the new owner of my ol' car pulled the 231/237, put it back in (degreed this time), changed the plugs and did some further tuning and now it's putting down 480rwhp thru TEA 1.5's. Not too shabby, eh?

Here is a question for you guys. I have checked out a lot of graphs on some cam cars and everyone but mine is over 300 RWTQ by 2,000 RPM. I am not hitting 300 until around 2,600. Why is that? Is it this cam?
well i just fired mine up thursday night all i can say is wow. sounds awesome haven't got to drive it yet though. i will try to have dyno #'s for you guys in a week or so. the only that is going to kill me is the ls1 intake. the old owner had painted a bunch of stuff so we traded intakes. but i would rather lose 10-15 hp than have painted stuff.

Here is a crappy shot of the graph. I took it with my camera since my scanner isn't hooked up.

Now I'm running a Comp XER grind 230/236, almost identical to the TSP 231/237 and I LOVE it.

I have the 231/237 and I love it. I'm also running on a mail in tunning but its done pretty good so far. I cant wait to get it dynoed tunned to get all the power I can out of it.
