Re: Just ordered my TR 220 cam!! Treat the inside of that great looking Hot Rod LS1 like you do the outside and go with the good stuff, Titanium all the way you'll be glad you did just for the lighter weight and strength. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Just ordered my TR 220 cam!! I started a thred a while back and everyone said they are not really necessary unless youa re going all out with the motor and stuff. The stock ones should be fine with the 220.
That TR GP was great, I picked up a TR 224 with 918's and pushrods.

Re: Just ordered my TR 220 cam!! Steve, your car will do great with the TR220 cam. It's a very well mannered cam thats makes gobs of power everywhere. You should easily make 380-390 rwhp with it judging from your current #'s. We just did a local car that made 394 rwhp w/ that cam and stock heads. Good luck!

I think you'll save like 1 gram of weight with titanium retainers and the 918's. I don't think you'll be spinning a TR-220 cam'd car high enough to get any real benefit. If you were going above 6,800 rpm then yes.
Not worth it IMHO for your application.
Nice cam I almost picked that cam too!

Re: Just ordered my TR 220 cam!! Steve, who is doing the install for you. I live in So Cal too (Rancho Cucamonga, CA) and was going to think about getting the very same cam. I just need to find a reputable shop. I heard Andy's Auto in Monrovia is very good. What do you think?

I would be happy to be over 380rwhp with the cam.. very happy indeed.. A local guy (Ireland31) just made 380rwhp with an 02 LS6 cam (with tuning) so I think I should be in that range..
Yea, I agree on the retainers.. sorta of a waste but nice to have.. I might get them if Eric has a good price on his slightly used ones..
Thanks for the comments..

Re: Just ordered my TR 220 cam!! Hey Steve,
I was aksing $110 for the titanium retainers. And my car did 352 RWHP without tuning with the '02 LS6 cam, through the A4, stock manifolds and cats, etc. You should make lots of power with that TR 220 cam. I loved the TR 224 I had in the TA. Send me an email if you're interested in those retainers. Eireland31@aol.com

Re: Just ordered my TR 220 cam!! Steve,
Does Mark at Andy's Auto do tuning as well? I know I'm running rich from the SLP LT's I just put on and if I am able to swing the cam and all I will for sure want it tuned correctly for the best results. If he doesn't do you know of anyone else that can tune well? I just don't have the $$ for a laptop, MAFT, and Auto tap right now.
