Default torquer or 233/239

I have a 01 formula M6 that made 406 throught the 10 bolt with a 228/224 cam. Now i have a 12 bolt and want to hit 400 to the wheels ... both the cams are pretty new so i dont know a lot about them, but you cant beat the price on them ... what do you guys think i should do ????

Thanks

I'd go with the 233/239. It makes great power up top, yet retains decent TQ down low thanks to the fast ramp rates. I even read that it has better PTV clearance than the 233/233.

You should be able to hit 400 RWHP with either cam. Here's a side by side comparison of two recent dyno graphs by TSP of the two cams. Not sure about the setup of the car with the 233/239. I'd definitely give TSP a call and see which one they recommend for your setup and goals.

man, those graphs really make it hard to choose...not too much difference in torque curve.

i was having the same problem on deciding on a cam but i guess no matter which you pick you'll still have a huge grin on your face when you get on it.
