Ive ran one in a 260 ci Stage 2 motor. My motor ran great with it. But that cam would be BIG for a 231.

I have to agree :tongue: , it could be too big for stock motor , I use the same cam but with my 3.55 stroker 0.40 over , runs great , idles great too .

I've run one for a couple plus years now and its very streetable, pulls very hard on the strip, and got 18+ mpg on a recent 200 mile freeway trip.

I had one in my Stage II motor and I loved it. If I had the chance to install the same cam again I would. FWIW, I run a 224/224 solid flat tappet cam in my 235"stock block motor and that works well too so I wouldn't hesitate to try it in a small displacement application. Heck there are guys running cams with over 235 degrees duration in TSM.

The 224/224 has been high 8's I don't think it's working for you.

Well when you run 8's in TSM trim with it then I will correct my statement. Until then STFU.

I don't run the 224 it's too much cam for me and defiantly too much for you.

Well what can I say. I am a defiant kind of guy. I like to do things my own way. :wink:

You got me on that one!:biggrin:

I'm very happy with my 224/224. Make sure your motor is ready for ~6300 (or more) rpm shifts to get the most out of it.

Lots of good replies.

I usually go small with cams just to be on the safe side.

But in this case , the cam is slightly used, so probably wont sell for much & everything needed to run it was included.
Alum heads already have correct springs, ti retainers, correct length pushrods, 1.65 rockers , timing set etc

So am tempted to run this setup.

I have not experienced a turbo car with too much cam, How may this combo act.
Rough idle, lack of botton end , require very high idle ?

On our engines what is required for above 6000prm operation to take advantage of this cam ?

Botton end is stock w. 2 billet center caps.
Valve train will be rollmaster chain, alum heads w roller rockers.

I usually limit my Ttype to 55-5600 rpm to be safe so this may be new territory.

The parts deal also came w. a new comp cams 212/212 flat tappet kit, so that will be the 2nd choice. The roller has the cool factor tempting me though.

Noticed comp cams no longer sells this cam, when was it popular ?

I wouldnt run that cam unless you are planning on running a bigger Q-trim turbo at 28-30 psi (like a 76 minimum) and ported heads. I wouldnt run less than 9.5-1 compression with it either. You would be much better off with something around 214/214 and maybe a little more if you had your heads ported imo.

If the setup is selling for cheap then get it. You can have that cam reground by CAM MOTION for about $150 to what ever specs you want. Just my opinion. jeremy

 

[49-blues]

I would be interested in buying that setup if you re selling, let me know. where is Cam Motion located or their website?

 

[jpwalt1987]

Cam Motion is in Baton Rouge Louisiana. http://www.cammotion.com/

They do excellent work on alot of really fast cars. My cam was a 236/236 with .590 lift (out of conley's BLACK) and i had them cut it down to a 224/224 w/.560 lift. solid roller. hope this helps, jeremy

Maybe you should stop wasting your time on import junk and get working on a T-Type that is under 7 feet of snow.......
