Default TR227/224 .569/.563 114 LSA users???

I am looking for some feedback from forum members using this cam. Is anyone using this cam with the factory heads??? I thought I had made up my mind, but I may be getting greedy... :reddevil

Thanks for any info.
:D :D :D

Actually, this is a VERY popular cam. If you look on the LS1 boards you will see many F-body guys using this cam.

There are several 'vette owners with this cam. JmX recommended this cam to me, and a couple other people, and everyone I've talked to (including myself) absolutely love the cam. With stock heads, proper tunning (main point) you should see around 30rwhp increase.

:cheers:

The 227 cam is a great cam with tuning. If you are looking to go more agressive there is the 230/226 that makes a little more power and a little more lope. Either cam with stock heads works great with the correct tuning

I've never tried the cam with stock heads, but with my GTP/Thunder racing heads it rocks. After trying 8 or 9 LS1 cams I'm finally in love. BTW, if you are going to get heads in the future and go with a reverse split cam like the 227/224, make sure you get heads suited to that cam profile. The GTP's for sure seem to love it, and I'm sure quite a few other brands do as well.

Thanks to all for the input...
:cheers:

Everything said and done I guess I have decided to stick with the TR224/224/.561/.114lsa cam with a Blackwing and a set of FLPs... :D

I've had that cam too, right before the 227/224. Either way you'll be happy, the 227 just has a bit more on the topend.
