I've heard alot of trash talking about that cam but I wiped out many a 224/224 or 230/230 cammed car with it. Even beat some cars with cheaper heads/cam packages on them. Bottom line, don't underestimate it. It does idle rough though, but with tuning it isn't an issue. I may even get another one when my new block is done because it is a great nitrous cam to boot.
its all relative though, there are people that have hit 128mph with a cam only, otherwise bolt on engine. There are also people out there with tr224 cams in the 11's with no tuning and stock rockers so again its all relative & what your happy with. If your happy with it then thats great, im just letting him know I think there are better options out there...you are obviously stuck in your thinking in every aspect which is fine but dont bottleneck everyone else.
