Again based on past testing either of these cams could be either forward or reverse split and basically do the same as they are already doing. EVERY internet 'expert' knows the reverse split 'doesn't work' so we made this one a forward split. IMHO the exhaust opening point is probably the least sensitive parameter for a properly tuned header system on a street motor. Your mileage may vary, J/K .

All of the graphs are the same until 5k or so. There's no reason not to gain low-end power when swapping cams. The reverse cams just hender the exaust to a point to where they can't move enough air, thus not making any more power that it's smaller counter parts.

but the car with the tr224 cam also has heads the bigger camed cars are cam only..... if i can do it with cam only thats what i would do

Black = TR230 on w/ 853s

All were tuned pulls, all were SAE #s, all were previous dynos of mine


Were the 853's not on the previous combos? Any advantage to them?
