TR 230/224 Cam Question i was wondering i was considering the torquer cam and just started looking at the 230/224. i was wondering where does the cam really gives its power not in the RPM range i mean racing wise is it more of a low end or top end cam. any help would be great. thanks

Joel, have you seen the latest TSP 233/233 posts? Look in the dyno section. Cam looks good! BTW. I still have the parts you need! Hehe.

i have the tr230 right now
stock headed it was great awsome power pulls from 3000-redline(6800)
if you plan on going with heads id lean towards the torquer though. the tr230 doesnt have alot of lift compared to whats out there now

yea i have seen the dyno graph of the Torquer i just wanted to make sure i was getting the right cam for what i wanted. because i wanted some good torque to go with the power not get a ton of HP and the torque be non-exsistent. i wanted some mean low end torque and still have some sick power for later in the RPM. the specials for the holidays look damn good also.
do a search... we just put that cam in my friend will's car (txhorns281). feels strong on low rpms (not much different than stock) and then pulls real hard all the way to the top. i am looking at TR236 though. it makes the same power as the Torquer down low and even more up top from what i have found.

so dubs what you sayin that the torquer feels the same as a stock cam off the line or from a low roll. cause i want something that will kick me in the *** more than the stock cam would.

sorry i think you misunderstood... we put the TR 230 in my friends car
also if you look at the dyno's that TSP provided you can see the diff of true duals and how they move your whole powerband down the rpm band. so duals give you more tq sooner but doesnt rev as high

TR230 has about the same TQ down low as the TR224 does, but has a better top end. You don't need a high lift to make power especially if the heads don't flow as well. The TR230 got me 11.4's and I still pulled high 1.5x 60 foot times with my stock 3.23 gears. Out of all the TR cam's, the TR230 is my favorite and a decent DD cam, enen though I use the Trex now...

I would definetly agree with you except i dont have an auto and on a stock 10 bolt the best i have gotten is a 2.07 60'. but as far as the cams go the TR224, TR230 and TR236 will all act the same up until about 5000rpm where everything changes. i personally want more power up top and i am getting my ls1 heads hand ported to match my cam so i am going with the TR236 to fully optimize my setup(the flow of my heads and true duals with QTP's and no cats). well it will be my setup next month.
