tr224/110
you could see high 300s rwhp..... (I'm assuming you have long tube headers)......would be a cool cam (for a manual) but you will need a stall for it.......114lsa is much better for auto cars.....
it will have a decent lope to it.....it's still not going to be "ProStock" by any means.....it's just not big enough (enough overlap).......but yes....it will sound like a cam

I'll make sure to post that dyno up for you guys. Driveability was very good with this cam. Any good tuner can help you out. Keep in mind guys, this cam has hardly no overlap compared to others out there.
Like I said though, if you were going to try this cam I would use the same duration numbers at .050" but use a more agressive lobe or 1.8 rockers with the xe lobe.

There she blow. Thanks!
What kind of exhaust did you have? How does this thing make so much torque? I thought the tighter LSA would make for a peaky engine?

DAP's right about the overlap. When you think about people running a 230/232 112 cam as pretty popular, that's roughly 7* at .05. You could run a 224/224 109 cam and have 6* overlap. Run it straight up or on a 108 ICL and I bet you would see excellent torque at 3500 and peak no higher than 6200.
The key to this cam's excellent torque is that I had a good exhaust setup with a fairly late opening of the exhaust valve. This I believe will allow the power stroke to be fully realized by not opening the exhaust valve early and relieving the mechanical force of the power stroke. However, late opening of the exhaust valve can contribute to blow down loss (the cylinder having to literally force the exhaust out of the exhaust valve) if the exhaust system is not up to par. I truly think what held this cam back in the higher rpm range was the early intake valve closing point of this cam. Would be interesting to see what a cam with a 230 intake lobe, same exhaust lobe, on a 106 icl with a 110 lsa would do, with a very good exhaust system ofcourse.
If you decide to run this cam do it with true duals or a very good y-setup (flowmaster collector). Opening the exhaust valve later is great for torque but with out the proper exhaust can really hurt high rpm power.
Nice time for a bolt-on 98. If you have a big stall, I'd put it in on 108 ICL and let it peak a little higher
