Next year I'm going to be getting a cam. I really like the TR 230/224 cam. It makes great power and lobes hard like I want. The only problem I have is how high you have to rev your motor when your racing. I don't want to have to be rebuilding my motor any time soon. I would like to know what you guys shift at (M6)? Also what would you shift at with the TR 224/224/ 112 LSA cam? Sorry for all the qeustions but I really need to make my mind up on which cam to get.

6800 here! 7000 on the 4th to 5th gear shift <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hey Verbs! Did you have to do anything special to get the engine to go 7000 rpms? I'm not sure what mods you have. Just curious if this is a 'built' motor or just a spring change necessary type situation.

I shift my Hot Rod at 7,000 rpms. I have a forged bottom end. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Man 6,800-7,000 seems really high. Do you really think a stock bottom end is going to last that long reving that high. I really want that cam butt that kind of rpm's is scarying me. I would also be getting a new timing chain also. Also I would have 4:10's by then and I know they recomend more gear for that cam. I just want to hit that 400 rwhp mark. What should I do? I'm just a little confused on what would be the best cam for me.

Well I think I might just change my mind and get the TR 224 112 lsa cam or maybe get a custom one made up for me. The 230/224 is what I want but I don't have nearly enough money to buy a new shortblock if the motor goes.

im with you the tr224 sounds good i would like the power but cant afford the risk <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Anyone with stock heads and pistons, there aren't any issues of clearance with the TR230/224 111LSA, right?
