TR 224 cam only results We installed a 224 cam in Chris F's 2002 Camaro and got it on the dyno, Mods were, JPR ported TB TR 224/112 cam with Isky springs and Ti retainers, lower box was opened, lid N filter, Loud mouth cat back, tunning. the best pull was 376 / 361 small spike on the peak hp side and in all actuallity was 372 rwh. It tuned in a little better than I thought it would, good numbers though for a small amount of mods.

Re: TR 224 cam only results Excellent!! Looks like your TB is doing well. Was it an M6 or A4? And call me if you can today, I need your address for Saturday and can't find it anywhere on the net.
Re: TR 224 cam only results The 01s & 02s are awesome. Just think, a good set of longtubes would have you knocking on the door of 400 rwhp. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
Re: TR 224 cam only results Well you just made my day, I just picked up a 224/112 cam from TR on Tuesday with the Rev Springs and Titanium retainers. They only had one set of the Rev springs at the time and LunaticTA and I got the same setup at the same time and got a pretty good discount. We also picked up a set of FLPs LTH that we are putting on this weekend, maybe even tomorrow if its a slow day.
Sure would be nice to see 400rwhp. We are going to the dyno between the FLP install and CAM install to get numbers on the increase of both.

Re: TR 224 cam only results Let us all know when you take it to the track.
I wanna know if anyone got as good of results as I did with the Cam only mod. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I dropped from 12.75@108 to 12.27@113 by adding just the TR224.
Dyin to see what other people get as results.
Good luck, Stu

Re: TR 224 cam only results Stu:
The TR cams have faster ramps than the Comp XE cams. TRs ramps are pretty similar to the XE-R lobe, except for a bit less lift. The TR is a very nice choice if you don't want the extra lift of the XE-R.

Re: TR 224 cam only results r8ls1,
IMO, the Isky's are a great spring, I dyno tested up to 7,100 rpm without any visible spring float or drop off in power on an S2 car that we did. There the only spring we use now for the serious heads.

Re: TR 224 cam only results Mattf2,
It has the stock rev limit setting of 6,200, Chris is comming back for a full edit session soon to delete the random missfire code, Tq management, accelerated timing table,skip shift,rev limiter set for 6,800, and bump the idel 150 rpm.

Nice work Joe. Do you still sweat the minute you have the old cam out and scurry to put the new cam in? lol I never saw you so stressed.

Re: TR 224 cam only results I have heard that the TR 224 cam either on a 112 or a 114 does pass emmission testing, here in NJ, our testing is some of the most stringent in the nation besides CA.
Jim,
Yes, my heart rate goes up about 30 points in the interim of the cam swap, with or without magnets <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> . I have done 16 cam swaps to date now and had only one car drop a lifter... knock on wood <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> .
r8ls1, I believe the Isyk's will be fine at .580 with a .600 rating.
Thanks Paul.
Joe.

When I had the WS6 I passed our emissions with the following: TR224(112lsa), ARE SII Heads 2.055/1.60 .030, Grots, Loudmouth, Lid, LS6 Intake and LS6 MAF.
I took it to Knopp's on High Street in Pottstown. The first pull it did fail, however they did manage to get it to pass the second time.

Re: TR 224 cam only results 'Thanks for the info JPR. So do you think they could handle an XE-R 224 581' 112 ? Also Comp reccomends new lifters with their XE-R lobes , can the stock ones handle it ? I could probably still change my order on the XE 568' for an XE-R 581' 112 , I would love the extra power.'
How much more power will the XE-R 581 make versus the 568? Pro's and Con's to this? What does it mean when you say the TR 224 has a faster ramp rate?
