Whats this cam got over this cam ?
 
"Reverse Split" - 227/224 .569/.563 114 LSA and "TR 224-114" - 224/224 .563/.563 114 LSA beside the obvious in numbers.
How does one perform over the other.
Thanks

the first one holds the intake valve open a little longer.

The reverse split cams are largly known for Forced Induction applications....

Im no cam expert by any means, but I believe its better for forced induction because it allows more air to be pulled through... which with forced induction is very good thing...

However the LSA is a little low for a Prime FI cam... I was thinking it should be around 116+

I if you have no lope, it doesnt allow boost to escape....

Not true on all acounts. Yes you can run overlap for FI (to a certain degree depending on application) and the TR227 is not only a Turbo application, it is a good low/midrange cam only cam, I prefer TR230/224

so im guessin the 227/224 is better for FI over the 224/224? i thought the 227 would be better for a typical bolt on car? 2002 ta m6:confused:
