its a good cam

with all the new series of cams out now, i would look into bigger ones.

you could make 400rwhp w/ all the boltons, and yes it lopes hard.

it likes a very free flowing exhaust btw

This was my very first cam... and it's a beast. From 3k to redline, you better hold on because it pulls hard all the way.

Pretty streetable in my M6..

looking at your mods thats not the cam i would recommend. it does lope hard, however you'll need gears and a stall to stay in its top end orientated poweband and a good tune.

Moved down to the TR224/224 114 to pass smog.

I've been running this cam for over two years now, and am very happy with it. I little jerky in low gear, but lopes nice, and pulls very hard all the way to my 6600 limiter.

I've been tempted to swap over to one of these big cams that have come out in the past year or so, but I just can't seem to let go of this one.

Very good N/A cam, but still does respectable on the spray, too.

the 224/224 problly a little better off unless you want to do gears and stall but wont lose a ton over the 230 except up top.
and with the afrs out now could be interesting to see what is possible

you want radical, but probably also not good for your setup......Go with the trex cam........huge cam
