please dont start a flame war in this thread... can somone awnser or comment on my statement?
i see the biggest difference b/t the tq'er and the 233/239 and the tsp magic stick as this.. the tsp magic stick will not be streetable in my car... the 233/239 looks great imo.

casue thisis an interesting thread as i may be buying this cam in
a few weeks.
bull99ls1's point is the reason i believe i may go with the 233/239,
lots of people say, "well if yer gonna go that one, just go the next one up."
but where do u stop?
think i have been talked up incrementally from a 224 to the 233/239 i may get.
not that i am unhappy with my research, but from where i see, the bigger, badder u go, u affect rpm band, spring replacement, drivability, etc.
on paper, looks like anything similar to the 233/239 is a good compromise of all the above.........................................
the service tsp provides is a bonus...........
i am rambling...time to go to bed

As far as the 2 cams being considered here, the 233/233 and the 233/239, the 233/239 should produce better power across the board. Just because a cam is nicknamed "the torquer" dosen't mean it makes more torque than anything else. A foward split, if kept reasonable, usaully out performs a single split or reverse split everytime. In LS-1's that is. Heads and exaust also have alot to do with it.

Seriously, though, I would also expect the 233/239 to make better numbers as well. Not just because of the greater exhaust duration, but also the higher lift as well.

When I put my TSP 233/239 in a few weeks back I went from manley's to PRC duals just for safety, this cam is great and cant wait to get it to the track on some spray
Im glad you bought the cam and im sure you'll be pleased with the sound, driveability and performance
