I have a 226/230 .598/.600 112+4 in my 5.3, 10.6 to 1 with a 100 shot. picked up .6 in the 1/8 with a 100 shot with this cam vs tr224. I like it, has great mid and top end. I am going to see what it will do n/a for a while now. I wish I would have picked one up on a 110 and maybe a 224/228, but I think I would have ran into PTV.

geoff has a pretty good track record for his lobes. the TR lobe is STILL being used 10 years later and continues to be a great performer. i was surprised Pat g set me up on a different lobe but im sure theres a reason behind the madness

My EPS 218/230 117+2 was worth 75 rwhp at the factory rev limit. Even better it averaged picking up 37 rwhp from 3000-5700 rpm with even larger increases in torque. I'm very happy with the Pat G recommendation and Geoff's service.

Yea, I'm thinking that if I can ever get back on my feet and get my LQ9 together, I'd like to go with the EPS 224/230, and maybe some Crane dual springs
