TSP 231/237, is this a street cam
TSP 231/237, is this a street cam hey whats up? i have been looking at cams, all different kinds. i have heard some good things about the TSP 231/237. i have also heard it. it sounds like a pretty big cam and i was wondering if u guys think that it will be acceptable for the street. i will only be driving my car on the weekends not everyday. i have also been looking into turbo kits

It is awesome street cam. I recommend 410 gears though. I currently have 342 gears and getting a rear soon. It falls on its face a little when you drive with this gear but I have 10k miles on my car with this cam and I turn heads everywhere and it pulls crazy.
Running 231/237, duel crains ,stock heads,bolts on' a4/3.23 on street and ONLY problem I have little surging 35-41 mph ( know tuning will fix this - only have homemade tune) sounds great and pulls same

They are between XE and XE-R.
If you post your cam card and it has lifts at .006 I'll tell you what the ramp rate are and exactly where it falls.

I just heard a car with a TR224 (114 LSA) cam yesterday... we parked our cars together and standing outside I couldn't hear his car over mine. 
So I'd say it's much more stealthy or along the lines of "not sure if it's stock, but I'd guess probably not" type of cam.
The 231/237 is an over-the-top, oh my god what the hell is wrong with that car type of cam.

Between an XE and XE-R is actually pretty slow by today's standards... all the most popular "new" cams seem to be an XE-R, or more aggressive than that these days.
It does create extra valvetrain noise, but its not as bad as the bigger ramp cams
