Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"Reverse Split" - 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA 2200-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. Automatic cars require computer tuning and it is recommend for optimum results on manual transmission cars . Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.

its under .600 lift so 918 springs would be ok, hardened chromoly pushrods 7.4's most likely.



Thunder Racing LS1 Cam Swap Package w/ Single Valve Springs Includes:
- Your Choice of Thunder Racing Camshaft
- Comp Cams 26918 Valve Springs
- Thunder Racing Pushrods (7.400)

it gives you the option to purchase new ti retainers, but does say u can re-use them.

http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...&vid=3&pcid=51

you have to call to get that price would should be around the $590-610 range.

7.425 p-rods on cam only, beehive or duals are up to you,
PP Gold spring set is nice, the rest can be found at http://www.ls1howto.com under cam swap section.

"smaller base circle on the cam"
I thought that was with the LS2 stuff... Are all TR cams ground on a smaller circle?

95% of aftermarket cams are on smaller base circles. The value depends on lifts and lobe used
