post a Trex pulling to 7000 or above (non single plane) I've ran 2 Trex v.X in MY car, and dynos the #1 Trex in 2 other cars. and about 10 other Trex cars Ive looked up the dyno pulls (all same dyno at Newera) Peak in Before 7K And they are the ONLY cam only setups to make 400-410 wtq. Then The custom 239/24x Lunitai grind Ed curtis did for me after I ran and tested ever Big cam I could find. I would be running a Trex is it didnt make more power. I could get a user Trex for $200, But I spent a ton of money some custom cams.

Therese a reason you will see a TON of barley used custom cams for sale. A guys not going to sell the cam if it didnt suck. ABC cam grinder will do customs all day, how many better 235/242 customs cams can there be. if you want to know test them yourself, rant off

Pretty sure the OP would have made up his mind by now if he was intending to purchase when he started this thread 11 months ago......

That being said. I wouldn't get a TRex, 1. because it wouldn't fit my application and 2. because Thunder Racing has gone down hill as a company and chances are you'd be pissed at how they treated you and your order.

LSA is what gives the cam it's lopiness, everyone thinks its duration. I've heard 220/220 cams that sound as mean as an MS3. A 228ish cam with 110 or 111 LSA will sound sick. Btw, I have the tsunami and I like it. Cam pulls hard, sounds mean and drives decent
