Price and the lobes it looks like. The thread right next to this will explain that all. Not the exact same cam, but it will be close.

RJF, you can't really know the TR230 specs exactly unless they tell you all of them. (which they don't)

Alot of it depends on what you are looking for in the cam, more lift, less lift, longer spring and lifter life etc.

go with rev duals or comp doubles and if you want hardened push rods.

918 springs. They are good for 620 lift and they are lighter. They have a bee hive design and the retainers are half the weight. Also, you might wnat to use an XE-R lobe. It's more aggressive and has more lift. How high do you want to tack the car? Are you going with a 230/224, 230/227 or 230/230?

RJF

The cam is a lot cheaper Im getting a very very good deal. Im wanting the 230/224 as far as tacking it just enough to get the power band right without reving to high

RJF, The TR lobes are different from anything you can get from Comp. If you are looking to save money, we do sell a complete package with cam, springs, titanium retainers, pushrods and gaskets for $799. Remember, with our cams you will also get a printout from our Cam Pro Plus of your exact specs, not the "advertised" specs that you will get from the manufacturer or any other company. This is the only way to guarantee that you are getting what you pay for and there's no guessing about things like "my car isn't performing the way it should...could the cam be ground wrong?"

I just bought a TR230 for $250 (used w/ 3000 miles) on ebay. Keep an eye on the parts for sale section of this site.

Springs:
Rev Duals(1116)
Comp 987s
Both will work awesome with 1.75-1.80 installed height, 130-150 seat pressure 350-380 open pressure.

I would use 918 springs with that cam, even if you do chose to go with something like a XER 230/224 cam.

I would save up some scratch and buy everything you need from Thunder. If you have ANY problems they are there to take care of you etc.

RJF, the cool thing about using the 918's is that you can save some money by using the stock retainers. These would be your most economical spring and they hold to .600 lift.

If you want cheap and dirty then go with the hotcam kit. 400 bucks and you get the springs and stuff.

Then when you can afford it get the H/C package you really want and sell the hotcam.
