TSP 233/239 Cam

Pros and Cons of it?


I only want to do a cam and possibly nitrous in my car. Right now I have a lid w/ ram air mod and a flowmaster catback. I'm also looking for a cam that will have a lopey idle.

seems like a decent grind, I have no expirience with it but I have seen a few recommendations for that in all the other "What cam to get threads" Might want to get a pair of headers to, bigger cams need to breath

Thanks for your input. Does anyone else have any experience with this cam? Or does anyone have any other suggestions for me to look into?

I'm interested in this cam too... I was looking at the MS3 but this seems to be better suited for stock gears. The power range isnt as high of rpm but still claims to make good power. I'm going to match it up with Prc ls6 heads and 90/90 intake.

Just get a custom ground cam for the car. Or better yet if you plan on running stock manifolds look into Thunder Racing's cheaTR package. AFR heads, and a cam designed to run with stock manifolds.

The 233/239 cam is great for nitrous, does'nt peak too high and still gives you great driveability for a bigger cam. If you want I can shoot you a graph of this cam that way you can take a look at the power curve. I have different setups that I can show you graphs of. I think you will be more than happy with the performance, sound and driveability of this cam.

Not sure what you stokc gears are but you probably shouldn't go below 3.73, the cams not huge, but by no means is it small either
