This isn't true. The 224/224 will pull to 6400 ish depending.......The cheater is designed to work from idle to 6800 rpm, and pulls hard up top.

the lobes and VE's on the cheatr cam were chosen to work with a restrictive exhaust system, be stealthy, pass emissions, and still have great mid and top end power.
"more power" is a relative term, you've got to think in terms of area under the curve as well as peak.
the tr224 is a no brainer almost impossible to **** up combination. with the cheatr one needs to pay special attention to valvetrain stability and geometry due to the agressive nature of the lobes.
