Default Cam upgrade.....

Right now I'm running the times in my sig but I'm afraid to pull the cam out and see no improvement or actually have it slow down.

My heads seem to like the single pattern style cam.I'm running a TR224 on a 114 +4 so I'd like to stay in that area (114 to 112 +2 to +4) ...The most important thing is for me to get at least .2 in ET/2MPH out of the change.

I was thinking of something on the lines of 230 to 236 with 59X lift on a 113 +2?
EG 230-230 590-590 113+2
EG 236-236 595-595 113+2

I run threw a cutout so that would be a determing factor plus I have a TP4200/4.10 combo and it drops from 6500 back to 55/5600 on the shifts.

Any help......

I'm in the middle of a similar change at the moment; going froma TR224 114 +4 to a TSP 235/240 .602/.598 +2. TSP said to expect a 15 to 20 hp increase.
