I have this cam in right now but I'm going bigger now also.
I loved this cam. Great sound at idle. Pulls very well. It is great for a DD or mild street car.
Look at my sig. You will be very pleased with it!!

a buddy of mine (FstBlkz28) has that cam in his 2001 Z28 and made 395hp through headers and true duals! From riding with him i can tell you that it pulls real hard throughout the RPM range! Nice cam and best with free flowing exhaust!

I just checked, the one in the clip has an MTI X1 cam. About the same numbers.

Actually I was serious. Cam manners are all in the eye of the beholder/tuner/driver. My .595/ .595 242/244 110lsa in my 353cid LT4 I thought was a "medium size", fine for daily driving....to me. I don't consider it a BIG cam unless it's .625+ 245+ duration, mainly solid roller territory. IMO.

I've got a TR230. It idles at 850, pulls hard, sounds mean. I run duals that dump under the car through 24" long 2 1/2" magnaflows. I cant hit it hard in 2nd without loosing traction above 3500 rpm. 3rd finally grips ok, I think.

I used to run the TR230 cam before the Trex. The TR230 was/is one of my favorite cams to date, perfect for mild street/strip car and can be easily a DD. worked very well with my setup, I highly recomend it to anyone as a great street/strip cam.
