Default 224 cam questions????

looking at the thunder racing one and the synergy one--cam sticky says that the tr's driveability is so-so, while synergy's list driveability as ok. lift is higher on the synergy. anyone know what makes the driveability different or is this just a matter of opinion?

Ya... thats what i did with mine, except a 2800 stall which is about the same really. You'll like it, my little 4.8 sounds like a freakin monster with all that lift in that tiny engine.

**edit** yes.. back on topic.. I have the thunder racing one... I saw that it says "so-so" but it drives fine with my 4.8L.
