Default mti T1 vs TR 224 112 vs futral f2

Hey guys, I have done alot of searching on these boards. I still have a few questions.

Right now I would just like to know how the TR224 112 compares to the MTI T1 112 cam and to the futral f2 (224 224 588 588 112)?

Which one is more streetable/behaves better?
Which one would give better numbers?
Which one would provide the most amount of lowend?

My car is 99 TA WS6 6 speed with all of the boltons.

thanks......

The F2 will be the most driveable out of the bunch, but all should be similar in power.

I have the T1 and after it warms up, it is almost like stock. No surging, stalling, etc... Cold, it lopes a little and surges under 2k. I have an M6 with 4.10's and I did get the car tuned after the cam. If you are looking for great power on a baby cam that drives like stock and is relatively easy on the valvetrain, the T1 gets my vote.

They are all in the same power range, close your eyes, pick one and go to town.

All other facts aside, I guess I am just trying to get a response as to how sluggish these cams will feel under 2000 rpm's compared to the stock cam.

Will they make as much torque as the stock cam in those rpm's or will they be lacking until they hit 2000 rpm's or so?

Will a person have to slip/ride the clutch more on easy/normal 1st gear takeoffs, especially since I am staying with the stock 3.42's for now?

We all now that every aftermarket cam will make quite a bit more hp/torque in the upper rpm's, but how about below 2000? All dyno graphs usually start at 2000 or 2500 so it is hard to research this concern.

thanks for your help once again.....

I have the B1, same as a T1 but on a 114. I made 386hp at the wheels, stock tune, with all the bolt ons. No dyno tricks, stock 342's. Car idles well, slight lope, and pulls like stock till about 2200rpm, then rips!! No drivability issues. Imho, this is one of the best all around cams ever made, especially for an old fart like me.

I can vouch for the B1,I have it in a lunati grind.Its pulls hard all the way to 6600 and with 4.10's its way over stock down low too.I have a new ram clutch and M/T drag radials so i know this cam will take me to high 11's and still be way streetable.

i have a tr224 untuned and even cold it idles fine there is a lope but hey thats part of the plesure of getting a cam, it is not to strong under 1.5k but then agian iam not tuned so thast part of the problem. It makes pleny of power lets just say than on the street if i launch her over 2k rpm the back will swing around on me and i'll get no traction, so iam happy with it.
