I like it and it puts out great numbers. But according to the dyno's I've done the power has always been to high in the RPM range for what I desire. I'd like to move the power down the RPM chain if ya know what I'm saying. Also I daily drive my car now and have no issues whatsoever I just think a lower duration cam might benefit me. I dunno some people have hard time picking a stall converter. Me I have a hard time with the cam choice. If I go to change i will consult a professional for sure as i did with Trevor.

Just what I heard, we'll see.weekend summer use only, but I do want to take some longer trips, so
driveabililty is still an issue. Will stick with the stock heads for now, so
low end tourqe and hp are more important than the high RPM stuff. I usually
don't approach red line, only at the track and that's maybe 3 times
per summer.
I've found the headers robbed some low end grunt so I think the cam may
help there, and the high end flow will be helped by the FAST 78 T.B and
Intake I installed.

lately i have been looking at the TSP Torquer Camshaft with 233/233 duration .589/.589 and 112+2 LSA. i am looking for some good torque numbers and HP numbers. don't want anything like 390hp and like 340tq. TSP says this cam makes great low end torque and good horsepower numbers

This is a good discussion on smaller camshafts 
One thing everyone should know is the 225 camshaft has aggressive lobes. Don't think for one minute its not still aggressive!! We've seen over 390rwhp cam only with the 225 camshaft! Needless to say its my favorite smaller camshaft.
