haha...this post is kind of funny....becasue this is my exact thought process....i was caught between a 228r, 233/239, or V2.......and this is exactly how i was looking at it....i was leaning towards the V2 over the 233/239 but still wasn't sure....but i might be getting a really good deal on a used V2 so i'll probably go with that...if that doesn't happen i'll still be stuck between the V2 or 233/239...lol....

I know i will never be statisfied with my power and will always want more which kind of leads to the 233/239.....but then again i DD my car and want something that nice on the street with good low/mid power....which leads me to the V2.....choices, choices.....

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.

PM sent and quick reply. Thanks Matt.

I think any cam is daily driver friendly. I have the TSP Tsunami cam and I drive it everywhere. It's got a A&A Vortech T trim at 7psi with it now and still gets 33mpg on the freeway.

What rpm are you guys shifting at with your 228r cams? How much power did you gain just with the 228r gains? And do you have any 1/4 times with them?
