Which Cam will give me the best...
Which Cam will give me the best... Low end power, I keep seeing the dyno graphs of tsp's 228R cam and Tqr V.2 and they have NO LOW END POWER (175hp/tq @ 3k rpms!!!), all the hp and tq is the same as the stock cam at 5000 rpms, I stil want to retain 300hp/tq @ 2800 rpms (like the stock cam puts out), so which cam will give me the MOST low end hp/tq but will still give me more hp/tq up top than the stock cam?? I will be doing tsp stg 2.5 5.3L heads too...

That TSP cam isn't even in the same category with Thunder cams when it comes to power under the curve. I love the TSP guys so don't get me wrong there, I'm a loyal customer. BUT until I see a cam beat the TR224 at its own game I'll stick with it for a recommendation for someone who is looking for power under the curve without losing anything down low. Maybe Patricks 224/228 grind, but its a Thunder cam.
If you ask me all roads to power under the curve lead to Thunder Racing. Their cam lobes are proprietary. It makes the difference.

my little 224/228 581/588 110 lsa cam made 452rwhp with a set of ported 241 heads ,12 bolt with 4.30 gears and Denny's steel driveshaft. If I had a stock rear ,stock driveshaft and stock gears it would have been around 475

Id rather have more umph down low but still have it pull nice through the band up to 6300 rpm, (rev limiter will be @ 6400)
