TR230 Driveability in a m6?
TR230 Driveability in a m6? i was wondering how the driveability of the tr230 (230/224) reverse split cam will be in a m6 with 3:42's? Its a daily driver, so i wanted to make sure this cam would be suitable for that. This cam is suppose to be torquey and fairly mild since its a reverse split. i was also wondering about where it peaks? hopefully i can keep the shift point around 6300.
please feel free to correct anything im wrong on. lol

Seems like this is the perfect street cam for me. Torque down low, power up high, and i nice mean idle.

Mine is a copy of that with some extra advance ground in.
Peaks at around 6k with best ET/MPH with shift points set to 6300-6400rpm.
I like mine, but wish I had gone a little more aggressive. I would recommend you do a search for a grind called "El Torro".
It's a custom spec reverse split by a member here, Predator Z which is a more modern take on the tr230 type grind.

Not to steer you away from a reverse split, but have you considered something along the lines of 224 228 on a 110lsa ground straight up or retarded 1 degree? This cam will make power every where and will drive perfect. I say this because you are looking to buy a ls6 intake, which will make you a bit less intake restricted meaning a forward split cam will be a better option for you.
I actually bought a ls6 intake already, I guess I need to update my sig.lol
I have already got this cam, it was too good of a deal to pass up. I did some searching before buying it and read nothing but good things about it. I just never found anything on how will it drives. Seems like everyone that has it really likes it.
I figured since I'm still running my stock 853 heads it would be a good option that makes good down low power and has a good idle. I was actually looking at a 226/226 cam with much higher lift, but didn't think I would be giving up too much going with this cam instead. If anything at all.

the tr 230 is a good cam you did good on getting it. No you won't be giving up much and will drive great with a decent tuner. You will enjoy the cam even with the 853 heads. Do heads before even thinking about swapping out the tr 230. the reason i suggested the cam i did was because i did not know you already had the tr230.

Yea I guess I should have mentioned that. My bad. I did have that custom 226 specd for me and it was on a 111lsa as well. This cam seems to have pretty much the same characteristics as the custom cam just at a much better price.lol
Its good to see that everyone that has this cam likes it though. Its hard to find a cam that everyone who owns it likes it. So it seems anyway.
