We have sold quite a few of these actually.

Your questions have mostly been answered in both his threads on it honestly.
Reading comprehension.....left to be desired about what he documented and information he provided or left out....like d/a temp etc. And if you think nobody would ask the same questions about gains for a cam swap if it were any other cam you're mistaken.....especially any other cam that is as pumped up as you and him try to make it be. Instead of letting the results speak for themselves you consistently make excuses for him about info that was left out.

There is no need to ask the questions in other threads if you want the answers from him about it. Ask him or post in the thread. He doesnt follow along on every thread about it. Its our cam and his results.

I let the results speak for themselves then you come along and ask for more da tune etc as you said. alot of that was answered in his thread on the track and his thread on the cam itself.

What is the real issue? I shouldnt be excited about a new cam we came out with? I shouldnt defend it? I shouldnt want it to succeed? What is the issue?

Garbling this thread up more really doenst help any of that either.

I asked 1 question and then you muddy the water and make excuses about why d/a doesn't matter. Maybe let the owner do the talking in his own threads like most other vendors on here do instead of speaking for him and only information that helps your cause....like it gained 5mph but ignore the back to back Dyno graph. I wouldn't let you cam my lawn mower....and I don't even own one.

Ok. You are entitled to your opinion.

Would it also clear 243's milled .025 running. 040 cometics? Want kind of power increase over a 224/224 112 .600/.600 ?

Will it clear? Yes it should, but it is getting a bit tighter on piston-to-valve clearance than I typically recommend. Also, with anything that has been modified, you should carefully check piston-to-valve clearance with a new cam before running the engine.

As for power increases, More likely 5-10 hp than 10-15. For me, it would not be worth the time, money and effort for that small of a change.

So what do you think would be better in my case? Keep my TR224 (224/224 56x/56x 114) and run .040 Cometic for better quench and CR

OR

Run the GM MLS .051 and the Titan 4?

Again, the goal being power under the curve for road course duty.

You would want to measure your deck clearance first before getting gaskets. Guessing at a .040 thick and less than .010 ptd isnt a good idea.
