IMO you can't blame anybody for wanting to protect their own hard work. This is the real reason for the "secret specs".
Back on topic though,,, One thing I can say about my cam even though It's not the exact specs is that it does not buck in the 1300-1500 rpm range and the idle is better than my TR 224 cam but I do have tuning now so the idle may be a mute point. I also have above 350 tq at 3200/3300 which is pretty good and my peak hp hits around 6100/6200 rpm so maybe some of you can draw some basic conclusions from this as to the cam specs.

What are u guys talking about here?
First off CARTEK run a 224-224 580-580 or a 224-228 581 588 on a 112 or 113 with 0 or up to +4 degrees of advance.NOTHING ELSE goes into the X Package unless the customer wants an even smaller cam which a few customers have gotten.
The other thing is who cares if JPR tell us his cam size..Valve event timing,dur. at .006,what lobe all play the biggest role.
Let it go.....

cams are part of the LS1 drama, would it be half as much fun, controversy and publicity on this board without cams?Would any of these cams really have the following they have if they were all called 2xx/2xx XE-R's, 2xx/2xx XE's, which is what most are? It's sexier to have a
cam or a named cam.This is the best of the 224's IMO
SRP224 XE-R on a 113 LSA I think the 111, 113 and 115 LSA's are often a big part of the
set ups because most people think in terms of 112 or 114 and little else.As for Vince & Country Boy: Here's the drinks
Someone else get the popcorn
