Ok. Just being extra cautious is all!

Good to hear! Is there a way you could get a decent video driving that shows the surging or bucking? I can't decide between this and the 231. Both have great power and decent torque

Yeah let me find my gopro for that one. I dont think the phone will do the job.

Did you get it tuned yet?

I have a the 231/236 with M6 and stock gearing. I wouldn't go any bigger for car that you are going to drive all of the time. Mine can even be a pain some times with the bucking.

Mail tune with jason at tsp. I need to take it to get it dyno tuned with him. I just finished my cts-v I'll probably take the ss to him in august. my brother had the 231 in his ss. Imo they both drive the same. Yes it does buck hard when it gets into the rythm but for the few extra hp its worth it to me. If you learn to drive it your good. whats the point of putting a cam into a car doing all the work for something mild? Its pay to play. Either pay $$ or some drive ability learn to live with it or dont do it. IMO. But with this cam you will need 675 springs. The 650s wont handle the cam.

I also am running the TSP 231/236 cam.. So far its been a blast to have the extra ponies.. But there has been more loss of drivability then I had originally thought but it's getting better the more and more I drive the car. I've only had it for a little over a week now.

ClossHtx · 06-23-2013, 08:35 PM

Sounds nice. I'm tempted to cam mine as well

Oh yeah I love the power, I made 479rwhp 453tq. But I did loss some drivability with it.

Here's the dyno sheet next to a 231/236 on the same engine, same dyno, same day!!

The funny thing is I'm testing a new lobe bigger than the 235 that also clears! LOL

That's just plain sweet. What are your RPMs around town?

Thanks. Rpms are around town are around 2k not too bad. Really just depends on you learning to drive a cammed car. Car runs great tho.

I had the choice of the 231 or 235 and I chose the 231. Installed by Lashway Performance and I couldn't be happier. It does need a 3:91 though which I am getting installed later on this week. Congrats on the 235. I feel that Texas Speed grinds offer the most power over all other cams.
