Any new "middle of the road" cams from Thunder?

I have the TR224, but now that I have heads I want something bigger maybe in the 230 area. All the cams on their site are what I consider small to medium for stock heads. Also, I know the TR236 exists but it's not on their site, and the new TRx is just a bit too big for my tastes. I'd like to see them develop a strong, streetable cam that works great with ported heads. Maybe a single pattern or traditional split?
Maybe Jason from Thunder can comment on what they have in store for us. I love my Thunder cam but I need a bigger one now!

It would be nice to see a line of bigger cams that can be somewhat street driven.
No damn 110 LSA. I have a automatic and wouldn't want a 110. I guess a 113 or 114 wouldn't be too bad.
So what's thunder????
some 236/236 595 602 112/114 sounds good.
Maybe a 232/238
Maybe a 236/232
something in these areas.
The 224's are still great but I defentially want something bigger, but not quite a T-rex.
Hummmm if the T-Rex is a 240+ duration and 600+ lift I wonder what a Brontasauras will be????????

With those duration cams and the 114 you would be spinning your engine close to 7000 rpm at peak power.
With the 232-236-ish duration you really should consider the 112 and under lsa if you have a stock bottom end. I would want to keep my stock bottom end under 6500-6600 rpm...maybe I'm just the nervous type though.

[QUOTE=equandt] Exactly. Also, if the LSA isn't 112 or lower the cam is going to peak over 7,000 rpms!! 
I don't think I'll be winding mine out that high. Well, not yet atleast

Yeah I know you would have to shift high, I didn't think it was 7000, but figured around 6700. I did however write 112/114.
A 112 LSA would work.
And how is LG motorsports making peak at like 6500/6600 with the G5X3 cam on a 114?????????????????
The G5X2 was a 232/240 602/610 112 (something around that)and the G5X3 is bigger.
Explain that please.
