tsp 228R cam I am looking to get a new cam for my 02 camaro ss i am leaning towards the tsp 228R cam but i am not sure if I also need new springs and pushrods with it and if i do what size pushrods should i get
Same cam im going with. Do you already have an aftermarket cam or do you have stock cam and springs? If so than yes you will need new springs and pushrods. And it is best to measure for pushrod length, but if you have stock heads 7.4 will most likely be fine. Im going to measure because im picky with what goes in my motor, but alot just use the 7.4's and it works just fine.

I have a 228r installed and I used PAC 1218 springs and tsp 7.4 push rods. My lsa is 112, which is not to aggressive but im happy with it. And Just A tip if you are gonna install it your self like I did, use ls1howto.com. It was my first cam swap and it went flawless using that site!!

if you have an m6 go with a 112 the 110 makes power come in sooner and fall off later hell I'd even consider a 114 lsa the m6 will keep rpms high under wot shifts and therefore a cam with a wider lsa will hold power up top better. If you want it to chop just have the tuner set the idle lower believe me a 112 or 114 cam will lope no problem.

Who adjusted your valves than? Do you have stock stall or aftermarket? Does your motor run quiet without valvetrain noise?
2800 custom stall, fully rebuilt trans w/shift kit....Valves have never been out or adjusted and My motor runs quieter now that when I had the stock cam in there
Awesome. Have you ran it down the 1/4 mile yet? By adjusting the valves, I mean how did you tighten your rocker arm nut down on ur pushrod. I am asking because ls1howto just torqued them down to 22 ft lbs. Is that what you did also?
We only have a 8th mile track locally but I haven't been to the track yet. For the rocker arms I just went by ls1how.com and torqued them down to 22 ft lbs and it worked just fine.
