TS 228R cam

How is the reliability on this cam? How much of a difference in power is there from the 112 LSA to the 114 LSA? Would this be a good set up for a daily driver?

pretty good cam from what ive seen. 112lsa will have your power in the upper rpm's, whereas the 114 will push it down lower. it would make a good DD cam imo, i am looking at a tsp 233/239 for a daily though

its on the upper range of the mild cams.

very good realiability and driveability with the proper tune.


thinking about it, i was under the impression that the higher the LSA (112 or 114) the higher in the rpm band the power usually peaked.

Thanks a lot any idea of how much it would cost me to have it installed? I'm not capable of a job like that.

not sure but i would think about $1000

you have to remove most of the front engine accessories, and swap springs. then you'll need a dyno tune which can run upwards of $500

although a street tune is sometimes just as good if not better for part throttle.

parts you'll need for the swap are gonna be the cam, springs, pushrods, timing chain, and oil pump and the associated gaskets.

vendors sell the install kits for a good price.
