Eric still hasn't learned what the search button is and yes he bought a tr224 from me. I saved it for him and then he just turned around and sold it.

Eric for a daily driver I'd say both of those are too big a tr224 or something in that range would be the best options for a daily driver bolt on car.

the tr224 really isn't the "best" option for a daily driver at all, he could get away with a different, more aggressive cam than that easily on a daily driver. the 232/236 cam i mentioned is damn powerful and highly daily drivable. the guy that has that particular cam daily drives his car 500ish miles a week and he's VERY picky about stuff like that.

its a custom grind, you can have ANY cam grinder make that cam. that particular one was a comp on an XER lobe, it was a t56 with the stock revlimiter and tune. the car hit 405 on the stock rev limiter and the torque and hp curves were climbing like a rocket. car will make 420/405 atleast with a tune and some tweaking.

yes he has a TA....the camaro is getting closer, the motor is basically wrapped up, have lots of other stuff to do thought, interior still needs to be put together, and the fuel system isn't done yet either. ahh, not to mention i still gotta put the suspension together. if i could take a week off work and do nothing but work on it, i could take it to the track next week, but that wont happen.
