These cars can hit that with suspension, clutch, and a tire.


I like the 228r myself. I have had a 222/226, 220/224, 224/230, and a 224/224 in the past and they all have the same driveability via the same person that has always tuned my setups.

I want to put down around the 400 number. I feel i have the driving mod down as well. I drove it to a 12.4 @ 114 pass so far with the mods i have and i stay pretty consistent as well. I have UMI non adjustable lower control arms and torque arm, and a UMI adjustable pan hard bar.

This is funny to me.. people suggesting a 228 and a g5x4 in the same post, or reading off a tsp catalog.

Watching some people try to figure out a cam for this guy is like watching monkeys try to **** a football.

Give us a call, we can help discuss options & goals for the car. I personally like the 228R & the Torquer 3 camshaft a lot, but it depends a lot on what you want from the car. Give us a call & we can discuss it with you.
