Not really comparing the cams to one another. Mostly just giving some numbers that are round about to compare them to similar "big name" cams. They are just re-labeled comp cams, no different than the re-labeled Holley fuel pumps, etc. The two I bought were actually misspriced and I got them for $165. Don't get me wrong when comes time for serious business I ring up Pat G and get a cam spec'd.

 

you can tell it is cammed vs the Gt2-3

 

I ran one in a 6.0 turbo motor. Valvetrain nice and quite, think I had around 18-19" of vac. I'd run it again.

 

i have the trick flow 216-220 in at 109.5 cl in my fresh .20 over 5.3 243 heads victor jr demon 850 carb 1 3/4 headers just got it running with strait headers no exh yet sounds great like it has a lot bigger cam cranking compression is at 215 psi

 

Anyone else with experience with these cams?

Thanks.

 

How many people do need to chme in? There are several dyno examples and several other reviews here. What else do you want to know? They are a great option for someone on a smaller budget looking to save here and there. There isnt really any magic here. I am still beating the **** out of the 228/230 grind in my six speed car. Like stated prior,I would definitely replacd the normal cam swap parts. (Lifters, oil pump, push rods)

 

Codyvette, how to you like that cam? That's the one I've been looking at, I'm a little worried about the duration being to much, but it's the rpm range I want.

Thanks.

 

I'm going to run the TFS 216/220 cam again in my LQ4 turbo. Very street-able, good vacuum and made a hell of a lot less valve train noise than some other cams I ran. Price is good too. What more can a person want lol!!

 

I like both of them fine. They are great for what I use them for. As stated before, if I am going all out l will have a cam spec'd.

 

Looks like they are ground by Elgin cams, they have the exact same specs as the trickflow/jegs cams and can be found for about $240 on ebay. I just picked up the 220/224 for my 4.8 and the cam card that came with it looks just like the one from the jegs cam a friend bought last year.

Google/ebay these part #s
e1838p = 216/220
e1839p = 220/224
e1840p = 228/230
e1841p = 238/242

 

Thank you brother!

Those who are saying Crane or Comp grinds Summit cams are wrong, was told @ Super Summit cathedral are Elgin & LS3 are Howards.

 

Codyvette, any Dyno sheet for either car? I’m thinking of getting one.
