Hey Everyone.
Ive currently got a TR230/224 Cam, and im trying to figure out if im better off w/ a MS3 Cam.
The car is a '89 iroc-z, 3100lbs, w/ a '99 LS1. It has 241 casting heads, LS6 intake, ASP underdrive, Stainless works LT's, T56 w/LS7 Clutch, CAI, LS6 MAF etc.
The car is my daily driver in the summer, though i dont drive daily haha. It sees driving most days.
Im looking to determine which cam will provide me best "under the curve" power, though id like a decent peak too (Aiming to be Very low 12's to high 11's)
Im perfectly fine with revv'n it up a bit to get goin & moving up the RPM a bit for my power, but i just want the car to be very responsive to daily driving, and to come out of the hole pretty quick.
Aim is 385+ Rwhp, 370+rwtq
Thanks!

I have done extensive research with the same outcome......................TR230/224 hands down for what you want. It's proven time and time again. Same curve as the 224/224 but with more on top and a great lope. The stick, a great cam too, will be too much hassle to daily drive like you want. I have one waiting to go in myself. Just my two cents............

I have the TR230 and love it. Pulls from 2k all the way to 6.3k or so. I raced a MS3 with heads (I have heads too) and put a car on it and kept pulling. I also had an ls1 intake and he had a ls6.

which TR230 are you guys reffering to? the reverse split one? or the split pattern??
"Reverse Split" - 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA
"Split Pattern" - 230/236 .592/.602 112 LSA
Any piston notching needed?
