Its still on order right now. I ordered it about 2 weeks ago so it shouldn't be too much longer. I have heard a few sound clips of cams similar to these. Should sound pretty good I'm more concerned on what kind of power its going to make.

That doesn't sound stock at all

I wish we lived closer so you could tune my car once i put the cam in

I will be getting a video clip of the idle again, now that the tune is done.

I wish I could help, if I can in anyway, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for the comment.

I was in the same situation. Had my mind set on the TR230, but decided at the last minute to go ahead and let Pat G figure it out for me.

In the end, the lobes he chose for my cam are more modern than the TR 230. That means more power with similar street manners.

230/230 .612/.604 110LSA +2. It uses the newer, more aggressive Comp XFI lobes instead of XE-R lobes.

Yeah its the Pat G. cam. I got most of my parts through Thunder Racing who are absolutely great guys to deal with. I will probably have about $1700 in it by the time I get the cam in and get it tuned. The cams on its way so I'm going to try and put it in either this weekend or the next and try and get on the dyno the 10th. Still got to call Vengeance but with that amount of notice it shouldn't be a problem. I can't wait.
