Cams and horsepower estimaes
Hey guys, wanted your opinions on which cam would make more horsepower on the spray.
Debating between the TR230/224 and the G5 (224/230). Now, as most of you know, the TR230 will make a good 10 maybe 15 horsepower more than the G5 N/A. However, which do you think more horsepower and torque on the hose (TNT 150 shot)?
I am tempted to say that the G5 will be the better of the two, but i've seen a few dyno graphs of the TR230 on the spray, and the reverse split didn't seem to affect the power numbers at all.
Opinions/Facts please.

All I'm going to say is this.
Its all about power UNDER THE CURVE and which one has more. I can garantee you that the G5 with or with out the spray will make more power under the curve (you know what matters on getting the car down the strip, not peak numbers).
I'm not going to get into the debate over the retarded, I mean reverse split cam. From what I have seen the G5 would make the car alot quicker and a lot more fun to drive. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Just my $.02
Oh and Alex, your going to need a lot more than just spray to keep up with Louis <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />
