the tsp 231/236 cam seems to be the most popular. are you going with a off the shelf cam or custom cam?

I have the TSP 229/236 cam in my G8 and it is awesome. It has good drivability and makes killer power.

Anyone running a 230 duration around a .600 lift? I'VE been reading lots of good things about it...Hows the down low power in the TSP 229 /236?

The TSP 229/236 makes great power down low. It makes over 350ftlbs from 3000 rpms and up. It gets my heavy *** G8 moving easily. Im sure it would do even better in a M6 car.

Love my TSP 231/236. Make 470rwhp cam only with no pulley or intake/tb mods. Pretty stout. Makes much more now
