Not really sure what you will get power wise. I am sure that after reading your threads on the Cheater V3 that I won't be getting that cam. What is wrong with that cam anyway?
The Cheater V3 has more exhaust duration and more intake and exhaust lift than the 224. I don't see where it'll make as much as you think. I had the TR224 for a couple of years and loved how it drove. I have a 04 A4 GTO which dynos lower than the M6, but even with a ported FAST intake (no UDP), my best numbers were 375 HP. The pulley will give you 8-10 HP, but still, I bet you're short of 390 HP.
Nothing wrong with the Cheater V3. I just wanted something a little bigger. The cheater took away a lot of my bottom end. Im trying to get that back along with keeping my top end that i have now.
Well so much for installing my cam today. So Thunder Racing said it would be here no later then today. Well checked with fed ex and they shipped it out late and it wont be here until tuesday. Now my car is torn completely apart waiting for the cam that was suppose to be here today. Ive been talking with TR about getting it here by monday because i go back to work tuesday and i kind of need my car. Lets see what happens.

Verdad Gallardo That's to bad, but just don't get in to big of a hurry and f@@k something up, you need to be able to go at a pace your comfortable with. IMO, just in case I'd try to find another means to work, friends, family, or if needed a dirt cheap rental car.
Im not paying that. Hell no. I didnt screw up the shipping. If they dont make it right i will put my car back together and return the camshaft to them when it gets here. Theres a lot of other companys that sell LS1 cams i can buy from.
That's totally understandable, that's why I never make plans to install parts until after I know for a fact the parts are "out for delivery " on the day I want to get started installing them.
Good luck, and keep us posted on the outcome.

Wow that sucks. When I hear of companies doing that type of thing I just stay away from them. I have been thinking of getting a TR224 myself. LPost the outcome. Maybe I wiill just egt a comp ees.
my EPS cam got here right when geoff said it would... maybe give him a try if you have decided your sending it back and want to try someone else.. I still havnt installed it but but everyone so far has gotten great results from his cams.
Yea the cam will be here tomorrow. Im going to send it back and buy from another vendor. Im not sure who yet. I really dont want to wait another week and i like TR but thery left me in a bad spot. I may just buy from summit.
bro that is retarded, keep the cam, u have to pay for shipping back then pay for shipping again from summit or who ever...
