TR224..dissapointed Well my friend just installed the TR224 in his 99 SS and i must say i am disappointed in the sound of it....Untuned and u can bearly tell there is a cam in there thru the Pacestter LT's and Loudmouth. I was expecting a little more sound to it.
On the other hand it runs like a champ!! Very good cam for the money made a big noticeable difference. Raced another buddies STS turbo WS6 (10lbs)and beat him by about 1-1.5 cars untuned. Turboed car had a hell of a time trying to pull the camaro in...just couldnt do it till they were past the 1/4 mile even then it still took a while.

Yea its not on my car its a friends...but it runs pretty damn strong just i was expecting a little more sound out of it although it is only on a 114 LSA....I hope my patriot 226 on a 112 sounds meaner...lol... It is untuned so his idle is still some where around 6-700ish.

It's a pretty mild cam with a mild LSA it'll sound that way.

The lsa is totally the reason of it being calm. I have MTI C2 which is a 224 with 581 lift on a 112 with pacesetter lt's /offroad y and slp loudmouth and it is pretty loppy and would be close to your cam. If I knew how to post a vid I would share it with you.
If you know how to, let me know I promise it will put a smile on your face.

This 224 on a 114 I think has a nice lope to it?

I have a TR224 on a 112 and it hits pretty good through my duals.

I got the TR224 as well. I was rather dissapointed with the lack of lope too. In fact, I hardly feel a power difference, even all the way up to 6600. I'm hoping a tune will make me feel a little better about all the work it took installing it.
lol you guys must have missed the thread titled: "what's the badast sounding cam?"
If it runs well and doesn't break, be happy. Or maybe if you lower the idle a little, it will lope more.

the TR 224/224@114 was never meant to be a bad *** sounding cam. its more of a sleeper.
