there it is. The cars I tuned had every bolt on except electric water pump.
The power range was 375-385 RWHP

O.K. maybe I shouldn't say LOTS, but I have seen several. Most probably are in the 38x-39x range.

Its all in the tune. You should be able to hit 390 without taking it to 6500 rpms. This is where the tr224 is a great cam. If you dont want to play above 6000 rpms for a peak hp number, you cant beat it. Best street cam on the planet. Get the cam and then gets heads to support it and see what it will do. Numbers are in my sig.

Did I miss it? Maybe I missed it but how much HP difference is there between the 224 and 228? Is anyone able to overlay two dyno charts to show the power curves? I really don't want to get hung up on peak power but overall output. Especially without spinning the motor up to 7,000RPMs.

I have also been looking at the TSP cam package. How would the 224 or 228 even effect drivability and gas mileage of m6? Mods in sig, but then I would really have to worry about my 10 bolt

Does the compression ratio effect where the power band is? if I wanted 11.1 to 1 compression and I got a 230/230 cam with stock ported heads would I have a good combo? Id like to set the rev limiter at 6500.
Another question is about using stock 98 manifolds temporarely with a cam that size. Im doing a swap in my third gen and will need the car drivable while I try to fab my own long tubes. Will the manifolds just restrict the power some or will I have runability issues?

Man this is a tough choice, because i am planning a cam sometime and when i see the numbers, sometimes i want a 224, but then if i made like 370rwhp with it and boltons, i would be pretty unhappy, It would be nice to make 430rwhp with heads/cam/boltons. Is that possible with the 224? I mean on this site, i see out of the norm numbers compared to real life at times, meaning the guys with bad numbers don't post up.

its all about what you want. But cams are like converters....as soon as you get one....you want a bigger one.
