sometimes you just have to do it. if i had to pay someone to do mine everytime something went wrong or i wanted to modify, i wouldnt be able to afford the car lol. its how you learn

Good job Spencer, not only do you get the job done but you really hang in there and trouble shoot the problem. Just a SUPER JOB!

JUST when I thought I had all this figured out, a bigger (read perfect) cam falls in my lap.......

Current setup is
6.0 LQ9
799 Heads
TR 224 Cam (224/224 .583/.583 112LSA)
LS6 intake
Headers
3600 Stall

Just got a call that a brand new EPS lobe cam will be available next week. Brand new in box cam, hasnt even arrived yet, member is going another direction with the car. Specs are 226/230 .590iirc/.600 on 113lsa. I have the PAC 1518s that are rated to .650, so that shouldnt be an issue. The EPS cams have been making GREAT power lately, and are supposed to be the nicest on valvetrain parts.

All I would have to do is back off the rockers, pull radiator, waterpump, crank pulley, pull old cam, slide new in, and button it up. Worth it?

I'd go bigger. 2* on the intake isn't worth the hassle. With 6 liters I'd be looking mid 230's - call Geoff @ EPS, Email PatG, or call your favorite vendor.

EPS ground cam here as well, Geoff was the guy who originally designed the TR224 many moons ago and a very nice guy to deal with.

Just remember you like DD'ing the car, Spencer. I'd hate to see you cam it for the power and then the car not be as drivable/enjoyable for daily driving.

Something in the mid 230's would make great power and drive excellent.

235/243 .621”/.624” 110LSA +2 advance
its not like its telling anyone the cars ET lol.

My thoughts exactly, but I know several people who wont share there cam specs, retarded if you ask me.

Think its worth swapping out?

Its going to make more power than the 224 for sure but not much.

Unless you are getting a killer deal I don't think I would.

Something in the mid 230 range would make a bit more power.

I agree with Mike, it probably won't make a huge difference but..... hp per $ would be good IMO. Cam is $400 and it may net 15rwhp over your current setup thats pretty decent gain for cost then again might need new pushrods as well.

Some people just honor when their cam grinder tells them to do. See my cam card below. You may be asked to do the same if you get a certain cam spec'd from somewhere.
