More power everywhere was my goal, even at low rpm, which is why I started the dyno run at 2000 rpm. Everyone spouts off about this cam and that cam but where are the results of actually being an under the curve cam? Custom 224 cam here with unported 243's I had milled to 62cc's (11:1) and a 5 angle valve job I did vs bolt ons. Car should be 430/400 now with ported fast and underdrive, will have dynoed again soon.

I also see you keep mentioning the TR224... great cam, but why not get the little bit of extra lift that the TSP R series cams have?
Tr has the "special" lobes

Good to hear... you gotta let me know how you like that 228R!

What did you find out about your flexplate?

+1 for the TSP 228R cam. I am running that cam on 112LSA with a Vig 3600 stall on my 6.0L Silverado SS. I LOVE this cam!

I like your dyno numbers, do you have any track times with that setup.
Picking heads gives me the biggest headache so i wanted to see how the AFR's perform at the track. Thanks.

Man it really seems like unported 243's put down some nice power, and they only
flow about 260 cfm and thats well over .600 lift. Damn GM knows there stuff.

i have heads now. wish i would have milled them. better yet milled and ported. oh well i guess this will have to do for now.

my dyno graph for sake of the topic in discussion.
