Well have an 02 SS that is daily driven and am looking for a good pretty good all
around cam that sounds mean and gives pretty good power. All my mods are in my sig and LT's, ORY and a catback are in the works pretty soon, but my question is does anyone run the 224R Cam (224/224,.588/.588 with 112 LSA)???
from Texas Speed, this is the cam i am considering.......Also what gears would be good with this cam??? I was thinkin about 4.10's but i dunno.


Thanks guys

 

I bet that there is a high percentage of people running that cam on here actually. I would say no more than 3.73's for gears with that cam would be needed. 4.10's would work however.

 

Just like the TR224 but with increased ramp rates, prob XE-R lobes. 3.73's will be more than fine, unless you don't do much highway driving then 4.10's work too. It's all subjective.

 

Yeah i figured there was, but i did a search and came up with nothing so i thought i would ask. Originally i was planning on going with the Magic Stick, but i
want to do heads without having to flycut and the 224R looked like a good DD cam.

 

you wont have to flycut for Ms3

 

with an M6 4.10s would be too much??

 

It wouldn't necessarily be too much. You would want to have atleast 3.73's though.

 

I am running the 228R through a M6 and stock gears and have no problems other than stop and go city traffic that crawls along at 0-10MPH. I really liked the cam when it was my daily driver. Now that I have another vehicle I would like gears and something bigger. I would not hesitate putting the 224R or 228R in a stock M6 geared car for daily driving, just get a decent tune. Good luck
