which cam - TR 224 or MTI Stealth 2 ??? TR 224/224 .563/.563 114 LSA
or
Mti Stealth 2 cam 224/220 .581/.581 116 lsa
going in an auto, will have FULL Bolt ons
looking for a good sleeper cam
i have a feeling the MTI will be less noticable but im concerned about the power differences
anyone have any expierence with them?
i know the TR224 pretty well and i know its a proven cam
however i dont know much about the MTI

I used that cam (StealthII) for 2 years in various combos. It is a good cam but requires higher compression to achieve full potential (because of the 116+0)
with heads and bolt ons I made 424rwhp/383rwtq in a A4 and trapped 11.3s/120mph.
Nice cam for sounding almost stock.
If you are going cam only the TR224 114+4 is a better choice.
or even Better 224/224, .581/.581 114+4 XE-R (Comp cam Lobes)

The 224/220 116+0 will net you a 8.23 DCR (aproximate)
The 224/224 114+4 will net a 8.63 DCR (aproximate)
So the 224/224, .581/.581 114+4 is still better.
BTW your SCR will be ~ 11.02:1
TSP can grind that cam in a jiffy. Just give them the specs above.

who makes the other 224 cam u mentioned?
is the only difference the slight difference in lift?
the plans will be the LT's cut out/SLP dual/dual LS6 (then 90/90 after a year or so) TSP ls6 heads, 100 shot all the other supporting bolt ons/mods
and yank 3600 stall + 3.73's
full suspension slicks skinnies etc etc
straight 114 heres the card
check my videos for idle, wanna here what it sounds like now?
http://media.putfile.com/125-burnout-outside
it will take A LONG TIME TO LOAD
still not even launching above 2800 K!!!!

Still in the same power range but more exhaust biased for juice.

little too loud for me...
im running str8 right now but thats bc im stock @ the moment
once the mods go in shes sleeperrrrrr
Stealth2 I like the stealth2 cam. It has a broad power band and makes decent #'s up top. It has a very tame idle, almost like stock and has very good driveability. If I were to do it again I would go with the 224-228 just because it is better suited to my AFR heads. I do not regret the Stealth2, it is truely a Steathy cam that will suprize some people.
