TR Cam Users Come help! OK, I have narrowed my cam choices down to 4 cams and would like help to the final one. I am looking at the TR 224/227, TR 227/224, TR 230/224, and MTI X1. As for what it's going into. I have a 2000 Camaro SS convertible A-4, with an SLP lid, Vig. 3000 stall, shift kit, SLP dual-dual cat back, cut-out, and a 100 shot through a NX Gemini MAF kit. I will be installing with the cam, PPC headers with 3 1/2" cat-y-pipe, and JPR S2 heads. I do most of my racing on the street and probably only use the nitrous once out of every dozen runs. So what do you think?

Re: TR Cam Users Come help! I have had all three of the TR cam you listed when I was running stock heads. Here is a comparison of all 3:

The 224/114 is the best all-around cam in my opinion. This is what I would recommend for you car, given the mods/plans you listed.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Re: TR Cam Users Come help! The 224 was my main choice, till i recently spoke with JPR. He told me about the possible benifits from the TR227/224 over the TR224. This really got me thinking.

Re: TR Cam Users Come help! I think one thing to consider is if you want the cam to compliment your nitrous or if you want to maximize NA hp. I believe the regular split is better than the reverse split when on the nitrous but the reverse split has been making more on average it seems when going NA.
Re: TR Cam Users Come help! If you go with the TR230/224, you better be good at tuning or have a good tuner or it will be rough starting and troublesome at stoplights in gear. I have the TR230/224 in my A4 car and it was a little headache at first but my tuner did an EXCELLENT job getting everything dialed in and the car is running great so far!
Re: TR Cam Users Come help! Would ported heads made a difference on those dyno graphs. There's virtually no difference between the 3, on stock heads of course. I can't imagine it being too much different with stage 2 ported heads. I could be wrong though.

Re: TR Cam Users Come help! I have the tr227/224, nice cam. My first cam so i do not have much to compare it to. 
GTPs2 heads also through catted slp long tubes 413/387. The heads and cam set up gave me 75rwhp and 50 torque. Not the best numbers but i am happy with them...for now.

Re: TR Cam Users Come help! I Have a New, Never installed TR 230/224. It comes with a spec sheet. $340shipped
Absolutly nothing wrong with it.
I don't know what the deal is lately. At this price. It should already be gone.
Thanks!
