How much rwhp will I gain with TR224 cam only?

I'm broke but want the lope of a bigger cam. I won't be doing heads or EDIT for a long time so I'm gonna do this small cam for now to hold me over until I can do heads and EDIT at the same time to tune for a bigger cam. But... with just a lid and filter dynoing 331/338, what will I gain with the addition of the TR 224 by itself? I'm hoping for 360/360. Think I will see it? I will be doing the cam kit with the springs and pushrods at the same time of course. I figure I will pick up some et also with a raised rev limiter-6600. (I have an Hpp3 for rev limiter, 4.10 gears and 160 thermostat.) Anyone know if the Comp Cam 224 XE-R 112 will be any better? Except for the higher lift what are the differences between the two (I know cam duration, lift and LSA doesn't tell everything about power, sound and driveability.) Thanks for any help you guys. -Mike W.

I too am interested in the responses for this one...
I have a 99 Hawk that Dynoed 328HP and 338TQ with a lid, and Mac's.
I just put in a TR224 / 112 - 918's and hardened pushrods. It feels much stronger, but I won't have it on the dyno until May 4th...
BTW... so far I love this Cam....

If you are not going to get tuning why not just get the hot cam. It would be cheaper and with the money you save you could get FRTA and an electric cut out. I think you would get a lot more out of that setup and you will not need tuning.

I think +30 RWHP with the TR-224 is pretty common with MACS or LTs but with stock manifolds it will probably be less.

Here's the dyno sheet that TR has on their web site. Mods are listed under the sheet.

Looks like the long tube's and LS6 manifold really wake up that cam.

Ok, I just have a 224/224 .561 .561 112lsa thunder cam... no headers yet. Just a loudmouth and a lid. It put 320/330 (corrected for altitude) when it was newer(before the cam). I just dyno'd with the cam. It's now 340.7 and 338. Not too bad, for a wheezing non breathing car. IMO. I know guys are doing far better, but it still outpulled a 94 ZR-1 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Oh well, I still need to tune it with ls1-edit. Just have to get around to it.. Trust me, I'll be posting better #'s soon. Hope it helps. At least I'm honest...
