Check out Patriot's 225/229 .580/.590 114+4 cam. I have it, and my car is DD. It drive's amazingly. Plenty of torque downlow and good peak power at 6500. The small split might help it good with nitrous. It's a great DD cam, but this car won't be DD much coming soon so I want to step it up soon. A good custom grind will come to match the heads I want.

Man I Have also repeatedly called that number TSP has on their website and emailed them a couple of times with no response. I think I have to give up with them.

Sorry for your frustrations! Not sure who you're emailing and not getting a response, but shoot me a PM and I'll get you responded to ASAP. I am caught up on PM's as of right now! The phones ring off the hook all day every day, and sometimes it is difficult to get through. If you want the best chance of getting through on the phones, the morning phones are usually a bit slower than the afternoons and you'll have an easier time getting through then.

I have a 224r cam i think only about 10hp apart from the 228r cam and more streetable if yours is a DD. If I had to do it again the 228-232 cam is good also 224-230. If yours is not a DD then get a v2 torquer or similar 232-236
. I also like the G5X1 228-232 very street friendly as well..
are u mainly looking for street power or track use? if track only get a g5x3

I have to say I've gotten annoyed with not getting a response when I am willing to spend my money on their product. I have had this problem with TSP and Kooks. I work during the day and can't sit on the phone, or keep redialing. Email is the best way. If I spell out what I have and what I want, a company should be able to get back in a week. No? I sent the last email to TSP a month ago. Why have the email there if it is just going to get blown off.

Nice chatting with you earlier! Thanks for your business!
I'm sorry to hear you've had problems getting a reply. There is no good excuse for that and we are addressing the problem. If there is anything I can help with in the future, please do not hesitate to PM, email, or call me. I stay more caught up on my emails and PM's than a few of the other guys simply because my name isn't listed on the site's contact us page and I don't get quite so hammered on them daily.

I personally would go with TSP. IMO you cant beat PROVEN power. I like the "here it is right here in front of my face" method of building motors. SHOW me what works. I want to SEE it work before I get it. If you do that then you know EXACTLY what youre getting. JMO

I love the 228r I have with a 114 LSA but good god do I need to get my tune fixed. I'm learning but getting impatient. :-) I made 417whp/389wtrq with PRC II 5.3L heads and fast intake on a terribad tune going a bit lean to 13.4 near peak power and no spark tuning.
