What does your stock tach say at 6600 rpm? In other words when limiter hits what is tach reading? My tach reads 5700rpm when limiter hits with stock programming.

Salam Man

how are you ??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

yeah ..... if you want to get a ported heads and get the stuff like valves and so on from MTI , you better get Hammer 2 ...... but if you want to stay with your stock heads , go to Hammer 1 or Thunder racing 224 cam

yeah ...... about (( 3) Lift: .554"/.554", 226/226, Lobe Sep: 114* )) ...... its a great Cam , I am using it , but go to Hammer 2 , ,it has better sepc. as you can see .....

Good luck <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

The TR224 and XE-R 224 (not sure why Hammer to credit for this one... it's a Comp grind :/ ) are virtually identical profiles up until the very top where the area is so small it isn't going to make that much difference by the time you get to the rear wheels regardless of stock or Stage II heads. Just make sure install heights are checked with either cam if you are using something other than 918s.
