[turbotwister]

hi,
I'm looking for a roller cam for my TSM build.

Thanks, Nick

The flood gates have opened for opinions...

seriously.. probably get with a proven vendor and have them support you with a cam purchase? I'd recommend chris hogeland. He just did a nice cam setup for me. Don't even know the specs, but don't need to either.

The 224 billet roller weber sells is a great 3 bolt cam. It requires a good spring as it is an aggressive grind. Run with travel limited lifters or solids lashed tight. I ran 8.94@152 with this cam and a 3 bolt turbo at 26psi. Still running this cam in fact.

I have to agree. These were developed with Red Armstrong and some others for maximum flow. I have the 212/206 cam.

What spring pressure are you running. I actually have this can now. Lol

I've seen at least 3 had roller cams that could be called "224" and we're all different.

Different lobes and timing. Do you have a cam card for it?

I mean if you look in the master lobe catalog you could pick out at least 3 different lobes that would fall into the same grouping based on posts here though the spring requirements are a lot different. All "cam cards" timing info is generated by a formula and isn't specific to the actual lobe. 3314 and 3192. Both 224@.050" but worlds apart as far as setup requirements.

The lobes in this family were all introduced for a small block Chevy journal. Not sure why they wouldn't be designed for a buick journal if Red Armstrong was involved.

I know the 206, 212/206 and the 224 sold by weber were designed by Red Armstrong at Comp Cams after much testing. The 218/212 might be as well. There is a high lift 206 too, which was the same lobe family as the 224, xfi lobes. The rest are less aggressive and would require less spring. If you want a max effort TSM engine that would be competitive, you want the aggressive lobes. If you want to build a car with a tsm legal turbo and call it a tsm car, run a lazier lobe. This is one of the differences in an 8 sec tsm car and a high 9 sec tsm car.
