[QUOTE=coanan;11040317]Are you running the stock 853 heads? I'm debating if I should leave the TSP228R in and get better heads; just don't have a $1000.00 lying around.[/QUOTE
The cams are so close I definitely think you'll see a better gain with heads. Just get the best ones you can afford because that is the single biggest limiting factor on potential power.

TV3 is a good grind, though over time I started shying away from LSK due to the harshness of the lobes. XFI being a bit tamer than LSK.
I had a "Predator" cam grind over 2 years ago that had good results that used LSK. It was basicaly an offbeat of G5X2 with LSK on intake.
The "El Torro", aka " The Bull", was conceived as an upgrade from the original 230/230 XE-R grind (with a tighter LSA), creating a mutant Reverse/strait split.
That translated in one of the best "all around" grinds, maintaining monster trq below the curve.
If you research graphs of popular low 230 duration cams with standard splits, you'll see that trq is where they lack and where "El Torro" shines.
I always will maintain that you "SHOULD" degree the cam upon install, ANY cam, to insure correct valve events and maximise potential.

hijacking in progress - PredZ pm me (yours were off last I checked)
sorry I spell it different as I was always taught 'toro' ... but yes it's the real deal
not that I'd ever take anything away from TSP and their grinds ... they're proven
I vote T3 ... why ... it's already in ... it's a good cam
