TSP 228R cam? What do you guys think the Texas Speed 228/228 cam? I am thinking of getting it but cant really find much on it. My car is a 2002 z28 m6 with most bolt ons, and is a daily driver. I want a cam with a rather aggressive idle but decent street manners. If anyone has any info, dyno #'s, sound clips, etc of this cam i would greatly appreciate it. Oh yeah, and I do not plan on getting new heads anytime soon.
Thanks
Thanks
Here is a copy of my dyno cam only and then with heads added a few months later on the same graph.. That is through an A4 with a vig3200 and 3.73s.. Good Luck. They are locked corrected numbers.. They are accurate.. I made around 408/407 unlocked with heads..

Yea.. Your torque is off... Especially for the heads and the fact you have an M6. What gears are you running? I actually made like 365 hp and 385 tq unlocked with only the TSP 228 cam in my A4.. I'm wondering about your heads.. I don't think the cam is your culprit though.. I know people that are making numbers in the neighborhood of mine with the TSP 228..

I have a friend with a similar cam and it has a nice lope to it. It sounds more agressive than a 224 cam. He has an auto and with a good tune has no driveability issues. I am geting the TSP 228R cam, patriot double springs and valve train, pulley and long tubes with an off road Y. I hope to see close to 400 rwhp. I am thinking I will be very limmited with the 10 bolt, but maybe I can squeak a low 12 with a lazy 60'.

I ALSO HAVE THIS CAM AND LOVE IT. IT IS CURRENTLY USED AS A CAM ONLY SETUP BUT I'LL HAVE THE HEADS TO COMPLIMENT THEM SOON ENOUGH.I HAVE A 01 M6 AND WHEN COMPLETED WITH (very important) THE OTHER COMPONENTS.I KNOW I WILL EASILY MAKE 425+RWHP.THE MOST IMPORTANT YHING FOR YOU TO DO IS CREATE A SYSTEM TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS AND STICK TO , FORGET THE 240= DURATION CAMS IF THIS IS REALLY A STREET CAR.THOROUGHLY READ THE THREAD ON CFM REQUIREMENTS FOR DISPLACEMENT AND RPM AND YOU'LL GET THE PICTURE.
For what it`s worth, I`m running that cam with PP LQ9/LS6 heads also. Car made 377 rwhp on a Mustang Dyno (I could care less about Dyno #`s) and I`m running pretty consistant 11.6X`s spinning pretty bad. I did have some idle and misfire issues at first but they were taken care of after the 2nd tune. Over all I like the cam and I think it should work well with the Direct Port kit I have my eye on.

Been looking at this cam on a 114lsa guys. Seems like a very good cam for an upgrade. Was wondering how it sounded? I want a car that is loud but not to overwhelmingly loud. Car is a 99 z28 m6. Was wondering what the quietiest aftermarket muffler would be for this cam? Need to sneak it by the emissions guys here in IL. Its obII tested but i dont want them thinking i moded the motor.
