Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions!
Thanks! It's great to have my car working right again; also just added 5 degrees of timing at 1200rpm and below to help smooth out the idle. . .
From which gm/cyl.?
Great to hear you love the cam and how well everything's going
Time to dyno that beast soon

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions! Didn't touch the High and Low Octane tables, just the two Base Spark tables since I was only trying to improve idle quality. These tables are supposed to be active only with the throttle closed. Since I have zero spark retard under all conditions, I might look at the High Octane table next. Yeah I need to find a dyno around here; might be a while though since I spent all the money I had on valve train components. 
Oh and thanks for personally degreeing my cam!

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions!
I just picked a large value to fill the whole table with, but LS1edit automaticaly inserted a value that matched the largest already on the table. This was 1.0000 gms/sec for the P/N and 0.0195 gms/sec for "in gear."

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions! Yeah the "Decay in Gear" works, but there is still is a pretty big delay before the decay even starts. P/N has an adjustment for both the "Delay" and the "Decay" but the in gear table only has decay. But I think I have a solution: I'm going to put a switch on the TB that closes the clutch circuit whenever the TB is closed. That should do it since pushing in the clutch seems to throw the PCM into the P/N table . . . I'll post the results.

If possible post a wav file of the lope...

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions! Yeah I know what you mean; the cam has been bringing back fond memories of a '67 Firebird with a big Crane cam that I had years ago; but thankfully without a lot of the drawbacks that one had thanks to roller followers, rockers, and fast ramps. The advertized duration of the TR224 is not advertized by Thunder Racing hee, hee but it's around 275 degrees.

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions! I have a custom ground 220/220 .581/.563 that idles at 700 and makes peak power at 6100. I used an XE-R lobe on the intake side so its a reverse split up to .500 lift. What are the valve event on the 224/224 XE cam. Beleive it or not, my cam is larger from .200-.400 than the 224 and it will make more power. Reverse split all the way.

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions!
This isn't my car, but same cam and sounds about the same, except mine has more lope because I still have the stock idle speed. The part right at the end after the rev sounds the most like mine.

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions! Cal, its great the cam is performing up to your standards. I', jelous that you have been able to raise you limiter. I don't have ls1 edit because I chose the Yella Terras instead. I plan on having it tuned this winter.
I still am unsure what this cruise control thing is. I don't have that problem. Or I think? My car seems to decellerate quickly when foot taken off the gas.
Anyways, keep us posted. When do you plan on a dyno run?

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions! Brian the only reason I have LS1edit is I bought it way before the cam; I'm strapped now as well after buying all the extra "must haves" that go with it like the Yella Terras, springs, Ti retainers, pushrods, timing chain, underdrive pulley and oil pump. And I figured while it was torn down might as well do the LS6 valley cover. Hopefully in a couple of months I'll do the dyno run. As for the cruise control, I guess every car is different; some people have it some don't. Oh BTW, nice numbers! I hope I can dyno that high after I get headers!

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions! Throttle comes down even better now, but there is still a delay before it starts to come down. What we need is an "In Gear" delay parameter in LS1edit like there is for P/N.

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions! S2/Bauer/other TB may be the way to go now Cal. I don't personally believe in messing with the MAF ever, at all, in any way.

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions! Yeah I agree on the MAF. I descreened it way back before I knew better, but I think doing that did give me a little more timing and a little leaner mixture that I needed anyway. If I were going to do it over again, I would use LS1edit, though.
I plan to port the TB myself since I have a welder and a lathe. I think it's kind of ghetto the way people fill them in with glue.

Re: TR224 -114 initial impressions! I bought a new TB from Dal and had is shiped to Mark Shaner to do his S2 magic. I like to keep my OEM stuff and Dal has excellent prices...
