There's nothing wrong with the 224 cam. It's a proven cam and one you cant go wrong with. I've seen a buddy of mine go 11.6X's with that cam only in a M6. That cam makes good power all around which is nice in a DD. There are bigger cams that will do the same, but most of the bigger cams make their power high up in the rpm's. This is a great starter cam no doubt. You'll eventually go bigger as most do, but for now that cam is a good one to have. Just for reference I run the Vengeance VRX4 which is a 228/230 .588/.592 on a 112lsa. It makes good useable power all over also. Probably the last cam I'll buy til I build my 383.

But if the thunder cam has a better ramp rate, and gets the valve to full lift faster and there longer it would be a better choice than the TSP 224R despite the TSP having more lift. Lift and duration are a small part of the equation.

I'm really glad I decided to jump in on this thread. I'm learning as I go. I read a lot, and I trust my tuner completely, but all of this only inspires me to read and learn even more.
