TSP 231/237 cam what kind of power with my mods should I make NA and on say a 100 to a 125 shot? Im looing for a good power cam dont have to pass a snifer and car only goes to the track and car show a little stop light driving.What other cams should I look into? I would like to stay with my stall Thanks
well with the purple neons on you might be able to squeek out 500hp to the wheels 
...all joking aside na you could probably get close to 400hp at the wheels...and with 100 shot id say um 500hp at the wheels and with the 125 shot ill make a guesstimate of oh say 525 youve got very few real mods but the ones you do have like the long tubes and cutouts would help that cam breath pretty good but with an auto with a mild stall that would probably loose you 30hp over a manual car bottome line with the cam 360-400hp at the wheels depending on the dyno.

Our 231/237 camshaft has consistently been good for 50 RWHP on a car with all of the bolt-ons (i.e. good long tube headers, off-road y-pipe, induction, etc.). Depending on modifications, we will typically see 400-410 RWHP on a six-speed car with stock cylinder heads. The most we've seen on our dyno with our 231/237 and stock cylinder heads is 413 RWHP. Your 3500 stall will work just fine with this camshaft. It will certainly like more converter if you ever want to step up with more stall speed, but you won't run into any drivability issues at all with that converter. You'll still show a nice gain at the track.

I've heard that cam makes some damn good power.

By using TSP 231/237 cam with Crane duals or Comp duals (no modification to heads ones, lift good up to .650 I believe) how long will those springs last for ???
Let's assume that I am an easy driver, with occasional (twice a year) track visits ?

i would still change them at around 20k miles if not sooner...its not really the lift but more the ramp rates that it has to endure...and keep in mind even driving at 1000 rpms those rockers are still pushing down on those springs to that large of a lift...a couple track visits isnt really a big deal.

Here's my stock heads / TSP 231.237 dyno from a few months ago. This was before I got true duals. The numbers too high (I don't have 418rwhp- more like 400), but the curve is accurate and informative.

Gotta love that torque curve. Since getting duals, the available torque has gotten sweeter.

i say TSP 231/237 and be done with it, how can you go wrong with the $360 special i believe that is going on right now and make sure you get the dual springs with it. Also I have read post that this cam does like the nitrous
As mentioned, the stock rocker arms will be just fine. The vast majority of our customers run them with no problems. No matter which valve spring you use, we always recommend checking the valve springs once a year or every 20,000 miles. I would make sure that both seat and open pressures are still in check with the manufacturer's specs. We recommend doing this even with a 220/220 XE-R with .581" lift. As mentioned, the ramp rates of the camshafts will play just as big of a part on spring wear as the max lift will.
By the way, the $360 price tag on the TSP 231/237 is the regular price, not special pricing. Let us know if any of you have questions.
