TR224 or 230?
TR224 or 230? Sure it has been asked before but for an ls1 with a fully cnc ported and polished with 205 and 157 valves in it would i make a little more power with a TR 230 over the current 224 that is in it? Wanting around 400rwhp but this is in a truck with a 2600 stall.
What about idle lope.... which one has more?
What do you ls1 guys think?

i guess that would be a good cam to look at if you choose to spin it that high

i dont know if i'd want the 230 in a heavy *** truck with a small stall though

I would look at something in the 226-228 range. Call allen at FMS he will help you out. The tr230 isnt talked about too much and the people that get one seem to swap to something else. Like jrp said, with you stall i would go a tad smaller

Also should I change out the stock timing chain and put good rod bolts (ARP) in if I am going to spin it to 6800?
Thanks

I have had both cams with stock heads. Here is a dyno comparing the TR 224/224 114, 227/224 114, and the 230/224 114:

There was no loss in low-end power with the TR230 over the 224. The only gains were in the upper-rpms. The 230 did have a slightly harsher idle, but still drove great in town and on the highway.

..HOWEVER...I see you have some pretty nice heads. The TR230 should work well with the heads (this is an assumption from not seeing the flow numbers), with the TR230 and your upgraded heads you may see the 400 hp mark through your A4. I agree with the above statements that your converter may be small.
