Default tr224 good enough or should i change to this one

currently i am running a tr 224/224 .563 .563 on a 114 lsa, and i am very pleased with the results truck is hauling butt even with my 3.42's and shorties but the quetion is, do u guys think that this cam motion specs(223/226 .576 .571 112lsa +4*) would really be a good idea to swamp out for more low end, reason for asking is that i really like my gearing as i have right now
currently my truck has run a 13.200 1/4 mile with a 1.8 60 foot with bad weather and shorties with 3.42's


so please chime in guys thanks

There's going to be very little difference in power between those two cams. Please don't waste your time/money.

I would say wiht longtubes and either 3.73's or 4.10's you would pick up atleast .2-.3. Have you thought about changing gears but getting a littl ebit bigger everyday tire? Liek maybe go up an inch or littl emore? That will bring you final gear ratio down. But when you go to the track put on some DR or slicks for the actual gear your have?

Food for thought I guess if your even interested.

But I would deffinately get some LT's on that

3.90-4.10 is very close. With a 4.10, 3k stall, 26" slick, and the tr220 blue cajun was crossing the traps perfect. I do believe. 3.90 you might not see but MAYBE .10 diff but you might gain MIGHT 1mpg if you were to take a road trip over 75mph.
