I am from Springfield Illinois, in the freaking middle of nowhere. All that is here is corn fields. And the only thing we are noted for is the Simpsons.

Default I don't have a truck

However, I installed a TR 220/220 .551/.551 112 kit in my LS1 Trans Am and didn't notice too much difference but felt real good. Then, I installed a ported/polished aftermarket throttle body and an LS6 intake. They must have really taken advantage of the abilities of the cam because I gained so much power that it freaked me out. No way could I have goteen that kind of power from the intake and TB installs alone. If you allow that cam to breath, it will scream, especially down low, and it still makes good power up to 6500 rpm's. Good choice you made there.

Do you have any dyno graphs of this cam with the tune?
I would like to compare this cam with the TR220/220.

So if i added the TR220, what other mods are required to go with it? DO i need to have it tuned right away? I was going to go with the 212/218 .522/.529 114 comp extreme RPM.....
Which do you think it better?
I will be putting in a 125 shot of NOS and probably a 3200 yank stall.
Let me know!!

Yes you would have to have it tuned. The guys at Thunder said it wont run good at all without one.

If you were looking at using Nitrous I would look at a different cam. Call thunder a ask them I know they make cams that are made for using nitrous. Usually they are along the same lines as a supercharger cam.
