Re: TR 230/224 cam and drivability? I have this cam, but I also still have my stock gear. Taking off sucks. Everything else is great about it though. With LS1edit, I tuned it so there is no cam surge at all.

Re: TR 230/224 cam and drivability? Daily driving with 4.10s is fine, your 3.73s should be good too. No bog, not much surge either. Of course I had a hotcam with 3.42s, so this feels a lot better!

Re: TR 230/224 cam and drivability? As long as you don't have an aluminum flywheel like me you are fine. I have one and get lots of surge and an occasional stall.

Re: TR 230/224 cam and drivability? Mine has been very smooth thanks to LS1 Edit tuning by Thunder Racing and a good converter by Yank. No surging. I go into OD at 30 mph. (3.73 gears, A4)

Re: TR 230/224 cam and drivability? Don you do have aluminum flywheel right? Oh well anything can be worked out, more compression would give better idle and low speed response. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: TR 230/224 cam and drivability? I have a steel flywheel <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Talked to Thunder today about this and they said it has a studder around 1500 rpms.That's not bad,and as you said Jeff I can raise the compression <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
