Finally got a cam

Got my car back today from a cam install and just wanted to share. Very happy with the results, runs and drives great. Went with a TSP 228R 112lsa. Shoutout to Bobby Akers at Kentucky Speed and Bluecat tuning. Here’s a short warm idle clip and dyno sheet.

Do you expect a mileage increase assuming similar driving? Might take a while to find out?

Are you talking about a mpg increase? If so I’m expecting my mpg to suffer a little with the new cam. I’ve not driven it enough yet to really compare but typically a bigger cam will cause u to lose a little mpg. Not a big deal tho it’s not a daily driver.

Chop chop chop chop. Badass and congrats!!! Nice results too! Good choice in cam. That cam was one of my last contenders in possible cam choices, but I ended up going with a little less lift with my Elgin/TrickFlow/JEGS 228/230 at .585/.585.
