Well everyone told me this was gonna be too small a cam to be worth it on an LS2, but I'm VERY happy with the results....

baseline pull was headers/exhaust/tune only. The final pull added the cam, springs, pushrods and a cold air kit.

cam specs: TSP "224XE" -- 224/224 .567/.567 113 LSA

The idle is noticeably not stock, but there's definitely no hellacious lope like an S-cam or anything. she pulls nicely and there's still good power all over the range. With the exception of having to be a little more liberal with the throttle from standing starts, it's pretty stock feeling.

 

nice gains..i have pretty much the same cam in an ls1 - i like it fine.

 

So if a 224/224 has an idle definately not stock which can gives you a stock idle while increasing perf all through the range 222/224??

 

on a wider lobe separation w/ a quiet exhaust, a 224/224 would be almost undetectable.

Like I said, mine doesn't idle like an S-cam or an MS4 or anything. You CAN hear some overlap but if you weren't listening for it, you could conceivably not know the car has a cam in it.

 

I've got a 224/224 .581/.581 with 114 LSA and I definitely can tell it has a cam. Perhaps it is the higher lift or the X-ER lobes, but there is no mistaking it for stock. It definitely has a shimmy in the idle. Still love it, though!
