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

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
