I have a 99 hawk m6 with K&n, lid and ftra + free mods. When i do the cam i will also be doing ls6 intake,asp crank pulley and hooker with off road y. I think the cam sounds great but the car is a streeter so if any body with this cam would like to comment on it drivability ect. (i will also get it dyno tuned after the mods) If anyone want to recomend other cams im open for sugestions. Also besides the cam what do i need to buy as far as springs and retainers.
And last ive never been into a gen III motor any thing i need to look out for when doing the swap

I have had both cams and both were a blast on the street. The TR227/224 cam had a much tamer idle and drove just as good as my TR224 114 cam did. The TR230 had a rougher idle, but I never had a problem with it stalling on the street.
The cams were very close in the drivability department, but the TR227 was a little nicer around town.
