I also had good luck with my 224, I made 372 hp and 366 tq with no tuning and the tq curve was flat, really good cam. If I never would have upgraded I would probably still be driving my car now lol.

 

i have one but i upgraded the lift to .579/.580 and got 399.5 rwhp with macs lid cut out throttle body ls6 intake and tuning

 

Aside from the obvious what is the difference between this cam and the old c1 ?222/222 .566/.566
Exactly what does having less lift and more duration mean in this instance.
The tr 224 is sooo popular in comparison -- at least lately anyway.

 

Don't quote me on this as I am new to LS1's - but with 244@.050 vs 222@.050 I have to guess the TR lobe has a faster ramp, so the duration at .200 lift will also be increased a few degrees thus making the entire power curve potentially able to get higher numbers of tq/hp.
The slightly increased duration will make a bigger difference than the .003 lift increase as that max lift is only hit once per revolution. The duration keeps the valve open longer going up and down the lobe.
Rarely mentioned or compared, duration at .200 lift can really wake a cam up compared to another with the exact same duration at .050 and advertised total duration.
Make sense?

 

there is a difference in power between the 112 and 114? how much? id like to know because in interested in the 112. thanks

 

What are the different power & driving characteristics of the 112 vs the 114?

What do you feel different between the 112 vs the 114?

Which comes on sooner & has the most torque, or flatest torque curve?

And which one do you have to rev higher to make its power?

Road race vs Drag race...112 or 114?

 

I had TTP performance install the 224/224 114lsa cam in my Z06 this week..

The car is NOT any less civilized than the stock car! Great mod and great guys over at TTP in their new shop in Saddlebrook NJ.

All I can say is its awesome. 396 rwhp and 380 lb/ft of torque and the car is running the way it should have directly from the factory..

Don't hestitate in the slightest to make this cam your daily driver. Heres a link with a full write up if your interested on a corvette site.

do you have any sound clips of it idleing I'm thinking of useing the same cam. are you useing a stall? if so how big.

 

Love the 224.

Its as big as I can go with the milled heads.

The car I had TTP install this cam on was a six speed Z06. No stall convertor on the car. I am going to say that my often complaining wife heard the car pull into the garage and noticed no difference in sound (and she would have mentioned it if she noticed it was any different than I had previously with headers and stock titanium catback. ) Nice girl but whinney! yet she didn't even notice !

I'll take a sound clip this week for you. Its pretty stealth though..No shake rattle and roll..Idles steady at 800rpm..Sure it sounds deeper but its so little a difference I'm very pleased.

I wanted a stealth package and TTP delivered in spades.

Great cam.

HTH

 

Pat with the heads you and I both have. They're just screaming for a higher duration/lift. My peak hp came on around 6k-6.3k rpms. Looking at my dyno graph with the 224 .581 112 cam I'd say go for broke with the Futral or TSP. Or maintain civil manners and good drivability with the Thunder cam

 

Mine runs well from 1100 rpm to 6750+ rpm. The power increase over stock starts at about 2800 rpm, but is most noticeable from 3500 rpm and up. It should work with any converter stall.

 

I've been looking into this cam, the 112 lsa version. What kind of milage, if any, can I expect out of this cam compared to stock. Gas prices suck and its a daily driver.

 

It's a good cam for fuel economy. I lost 4 mpg, but got it back after tunning. On a recent road trip, I got 23 mpg, which was the highest I ever got with the stock cam. Mines the 114 LSA version though.

 

I'd say the exact same fuel mileage with the car dependant more on how often you hit the go pedal.

 

wow, this thread is still going i ended up upgrading to an fm11

 

What kind of ET's can you get out of the 224/112, at good track on warm day, with street tires? Have yet to go the track. P.S. Iam untuned

 

Seeing as this thread has been brought back from the dead, I finally dynoed my car a couple of months ago in this Texas heat. She put down 376 rwhp and 376 rwtq, that's with all the bolt on's except an LS6 intake. I've ran a best of 12.4 @ 112.x or something like that (too lazy to look for my slip).

 

Love my TR224 cam! I put down 387 rwhp and 382 rwtq on some heavy 18's! Now that the car isn't a daily driver I'm thinking bout a FM13 pretty hard!

 

I'm gonna get a gs400 for a daily and throw in a big cam w/long tubes. What wild cam should I get?
