What's the lift on that "R" cam? Will it fit under stock heads?

I've been looking for somthing bigger, my 225/233 590/590 114 is getting boring.

The TSP 231/237 will be a bitch to tune, will it not? Is it wise to make a camshaft choice based on what the manufacturer claims it will make power?

I wasn't even commenting on the S or R cams just curious why you would go with the TSP 231/237. I've never heard anyone using the S or R camshafts, plus the valve timing can judge the driveability characteristics of the cam more than how long the valves are being held open.

I just wasn't faun on you picking a cam based on the power band the manufacturer claims. Especially when your comparing 2 different claims from different companies. It might be more accurate to compare 2 cams from the same company.

Good luck
