Default The cam for emissions

Well since i need a emissions cam i have decided between these two?

Wich one should make more power?

TR 224/224 563/563 114 LSA

or

G5X1E 228/232 581/574 115 LSA

i know that TR224 is a proven cam but the G5 specs look better.....
Is there anyone that has tried the G5?

please help!

You should find ou exactly what is required as per Sweden emmisions.
Based on that will cam specs come in play.

But the 2 you have above the 228 will make 10>15 more horses, also reving a bit higher.

The 115 LSA will push the intake closing point back compared to the 114, assuming the same amount of advance. That's good for power on the top end.

Based upon your sig, you have stock manifolds and cats. Have you considered a cam with a bigger split to deal with your exhaust restrictions? I think you would do better with something like 224/232 115 112. The amount of overlap is a 2* less than your GX cam but 2* more than a TR 224.
