Ok so Im ready to order a cam kit for my 98 SS. The car already has full exaust(LT, ORY, CB), LS6 intake, Ported TB, Lid, and an SS3600 stall with HD2 shift kit and trans cooler. This car is my DD from May till October and only sees the track 2 or 3 times a year. Im looking to have a fun street car and it will stay on stock heads for at least this year. I have heard good things about both the 228R cam from TSP and the TR230/224 cam as far as how they work for a DD street car but what would be the pro's and con's to each and which would you go with?

Both camshafts work really well. We typically see about 40rwhp from the 228R camshaft. Another camshaft to consider is the Torquer 2. It's not a lot bigger than the 228R camshaft, but it really makes great power & works well with a little bit of converter.

Was also considering this cam to but would probably go with the SS4000. What LSA should i go with on the 228R or Torquer 2 in my A4 DD?

how much horse power would u get from the torquer 2 over the 228r

TR230/224 has proven itself enough.

numbers in sig (finally dynoed it with a dynojet) with the Tr230/224, that is with a stock LS1 intake, and mid-length headers.

im curious also. both are good cams. i know the 228r, torquer 2 and tr 230/224 cams are all good cams. im curious which would be a better cam between the TR 230/224 and the torquer 2?

hey gillbot, it seems were both making good power with this cam and our "CRAPPY" mac headers damn haters.

Nice numbers man

Here's part of the reason for the "Crappy" comment: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-external-engine/613881-mac-vs-pacesetters.html

There is + and - to everything. Trq down low, yes the LTs will make a lttle more as far as high rpm, the Macs actualy fair better. I bought mine 6 years ago and they haven't perished yet. I did the collector and primary weld mod on them, so I would have to dissagree with most of the posters just shooting their mouth. I have a custom y as well (Magnaflow Y) and catback.

I ported the primaries but I haven't modded the ball flange yet. Mine have been on the car for about 5 years and they still look nearly new. I skipped the coating and just added a few more coats of high temp silver paint and they look great!

I plan on modding the ball flanges and making a custom Y or dual exhaust next though.

I was being sarcastic. i have them as well. its seems everyone rags on the mac mids, when the truth is they have been making some pretty good power.

i seen some guy post a long *** time ago, to show that mac mid lengths make power. he said he made 28hp with the macs.
