Search "TR230" on youtube and search just thread titles here with "TR230" and you'll find some. It sounds mean!

love the tr230 cam... with an optimized set up they are a true under dog.... with box stock afr 205's its a real charm... lots of low end torque and pulls hard on the big end... only pit fall is it reaks of gas on cold start up. and no its not in the tune ive battled this notion beforemy tuner is fantastic and the car runs great...its all due to it being a reverse split..

Good luck that. I ended up just buying a new one.

PM quik01ss he has a low mileage X1 for sale. It's alittle more lift, but the TR230 or X1 will net around the same results.
