I have that cam. It is great. I daily drive it. Driveability untuned is ok, but you will need a tune.

What would be the benefits if each one ...

230/224 as opposed to 224/230 (or vice versa)?

Thanks,

Only above ~150 rwhp shots.

TR230 is one of the best reverse available and has proven itself many times.

My bad ... 224/230 doesnt exist. I was thinking 224/227.

How would a reverse split cam like the 230/224 work with a set of TSP PRC stage 1 heads?
