both are good cams. the 230/224 is a proven bad *** street cam. i know the 230/224 is more popular than the 230/236 cam.

either the 230/224 or a custom grind. Get ahold of Pat G and ask him about the 226/230 .609/.588. He spec'd me that cam and its plain awesome! Torque curve like its going out of style. Put down the numbers in my sig with the passenger side exhaust leaking at the header on all 4 cyl. Let me know if you would like to see a graph.

Here is the graph. It is choppy like that because the smoothing was turned off. I wanted to see the exact afr for tuning, and with his software its more accurate with smoothing off. Anyhow just look at the area under the curve. I love this cam!
