224/224 vs. 224/228? I've been developing an interest in the 224/228 cams lately and am wondering how they compare to 224/224's. If you look at the FMS F5, which has .588"/.581" lift, compared to the TR224, what would be the difference power wise?
would it be worth it to upgrade from a TR224/.563 to a TR224/228 .581./588 ? will be puttin heads on soon, just wonderin if i should go with a slightly biiger cam for the combo, thanx

Yea, I'm running a TR224 with Patriot Stage 2 Heads and it runs real smooth. I'm running right at 400RWHP but if it's tuned right I'd probably go bigger on the cam. It had a TR224 in it when I bought it but I was thinking of going larger myself. If your getting a nice set of heads I'd go even larger than either of those.
^^^ that's more like it! if you were going through the hastle to install a new cam i def wouldn't just move up a tiny bit... but if you don't want a huge cam, then something in the 230's range would be a good choice like the one you spec'd.

The only way to answer your question is on the dyno, and the difference between these two cams would be very small.
