i just installed the TSP 228R. if your looking for still a bit of a daily driver go with the 228. That cam still has alot of lift for big power. bigger is not always better. it's matching your set up. if you want street use out of it a Trex would not suite you. 373s would be alittle more streetible with an MS3 especially if you had a 6spd but believe me for a long time i always wanted the biggest cam out there until i learned. guys run 11.90s with 224 set ups. also getting bigger cams to idle will be quite a hassle especially when it gets heat soaked and starts camming out on u in traffic. i have ideling issues with my 228R untuned now wen it gets hot and its winter now for me.

depending on your head camber size and intake setup and exaust setup i would go for something in the 230 range at around 600 lift i run the torquer v2 and love it i put down 428 whp and 410 ftp on a mustang dyno with stock 243 heads with my old setup wont make it to the rollers till next spring im a six speed so that helps with the numbers with a good tune and the right gears you wont have any drivability problems it dosent really act like a big cam set up with the right setup it pulls hard through the whole rpm band 2 gear at 40 i can mash the gas and itll spin all the way through second and bark the tires in the 3 and 4 gear sift on a 295 tire off the bottle i do have 410 gears but i shift into 4 at 100 even hows that for midrange trq
