Re: talk me into or out of a tsp 231/237 I had goo results with the RPM stage 2 cam. Stock ls1 intake, stock throttle body, stock pullies, no tuning.
The TSP 231/237 seems to be an incredible cam to say the least. I dont know how it would fare with an LS1 intake, but im sure you wouldnt be dissapointed. Give them a call.

Re: talk me into or out of a tsp 231/237 I don't think you will have to change the springs.Gomer's car will dyno with this cam friday and he is running the 918's.

Re: talk me into or out of a tsp 231/237 You didn't list any dyno numbers for the setup you have, but there was a dyno sheet posted on LS1.com with this cam, mac headers, cats, and some other restrictive parts, that made 401 rwhp. Pretty impresive, and the numbers are becoming "proven", with more and more people switching to it. I have a brand new one for sale in the FS section. E-mail me if you are interested. We can work something out. Beast96Z@team.camaroz28.com

Re: talk me into or out of a tsp 231/237 I am running the TSP cam and it is great! Just ask the 2 vipers and the 400+ rwhp NSX that got their butt handed to them by it.
I made 420rwhp through a ford 9'' with 4.30 gears, with all the bolt ons. I lost 29 rwhp going from the 10 bolt to the 9'' so take that into consideration.
It is a great cam, and the only reason I'm selling mine is to go crazy big and go solid roller.

Re: talk me into or out of a tsp 231/237 Call me crazy, but my 224/224 112 cam has been putting the same MPH and ET out as larger cammed cars. And im running an LS1 intake, stock tune and throttle body. I know theres more peak power out there in other cams, and i have never dynoed.But i think for the money, if it were me, id do heads and keep what you have. Especially if your worried about springs. I mean, if you just dished out near a grand for an intake, then dont respend the money on the cam. Get yourself a nice set of heads, like the new Patriot LS6 styles with the dual springs. Then your top end is set. Just MO for the money ofcourse.

Re: talk me into or out of a tsp 231/237 If you could just hear the way my car sounds now and feel the way it pulls since I changed out to the TSP cam.. you'd have to get one. No only does it sound nasty and perform better than I expected.. the low speed around town driving is actually excellent!!
Btw...I'm running 918's on mine and the valvetrain is much quieter than it was when I had 978's and the TR220

Re: talk me into or out of a tsp 231/237 You should be fine with the 918's and the 231/237. A customer of ours went from a 224 to the 231/237 and picked up 15RW. He posted up the results awhile back. You might be able to do a search and find it.

Re: talk me into or out of a tsp 231/237 I agree with Scoobie!!
Why spend $900 on an LSX plus coolant lines for 5-10 hp on a cam only car when you could spend $1100 with core exchange for a set of 5.3 heads from Patriot. Especially when you might have concerns about your valvetrain. The Patriot heads come with everything you need to run the 231 cam.
Good Luck!!

Re: talk me into or out of a tsp 231/237 Get it I got it and put 401 to the wheels with a stock TB, and a stock MAF. Also it does sound nasty. I get complaments about it all the time and even from other f-body guys. A couple of said it's the nasty sounding LS1 cam they have ever heard.
