Default Trick flow cam?

Has anyone tried the trickflow cam that they sell in sumit racing? its say its a 228/230 .585/.585 but they give no LSA. I know that their 5.0L cam works well, but have not heard anything about these cams.

There cams are fine! I know who grinds these cams, and they make just as much power as the other BIG cam companys. These cam are advertised with small duration/lift numbers, but RUN HARD!

The Trick flow cams are just fine and they compete with the bigger cams, Im running that same cam and made some good power with it. Who ever says that the trick flow cams for the ls series motors arent that great, are full of it. I cant speak for the other cams they make for other motors. Theres another guy on here MM98 who is running this cam and he loves it as well.

The LSA is 112. What combination are you running?
