Compared to tbe 228r yes. I was debating the 228r tq v2 and v3. Ended up going with the 228r and i really enjoyed it.
The 228r is much better suited for a street car and easier to tune as well and wont sacrafice low end for a minimal top end gain. All 3 cams for me wouldve been within about 10hp of each other.

If someone can post up a dyno sheet with 2.5 ls6 heads, 228r & FAST 92 I'll post my sheet with the V3 to compare. I wouldn't say it's a dog down low, I have stock gearing and it will break my 315 nitto DRs loose with ease. But it would be a lot more fun with 4:11 gears.
No, I don't think it's bad down low. But I don't have any other cam to compare it to either. I have stock gearing....3:42's. It is a midrange, top end cam so the 228r would probably be better for you. Just thought a dyno sheet comparison would be interesting to see.
I'd be interested in seeing your dyno sheet if you get a chance.
I told Texas Speed it looks like I'm going the 228R, but I'm very hiesitant!! I dont want to have it in and say, I should have gone bigger! All the threads I searched call the 228R a "small cam"
Whats the redline on your V3 combo?

Anything under .600 lift & 230 duration is considered a small cam but its on the higher end of being small. More like a medium cam. If your mostly driving on the street the 228 really rips, cam has a nice wide powerband. After a few years you may want something bigger but who doesnt? I have been running a 228 for 3 yrs now, still happy with it but I have gears & a great set of heads too.

If your thinking you should go bigger now before you order I'd definitely do it. I actually wish I would have went with something in the high 230's now, but no way I'm doing all that again. I may upgrade in a few years but for now I'm going to enjoy my build for awhile.
I shift at ~6500rpm's, but it still hasn't dropped yet off so you could probably take it to 7k if your brave or have the internals to spin the motor that high.
