why do you say that, the lift on the yellow z06 spring is RECOMENDED by many to .570 and used up to .580. The tr224 is only 224/224 .563/.563 114...plenty of lift and i dont see enough seat pressure required to max out the z06 spring. But i could be wrong

i dont know much spec specific information, other than the yellow springs are the ones to have, and that many people with the tr224's have used them....i was under the impression that this cam was on a 112, i went back in my pm box, and its 114. this will shift my power a little lower in the power band correct? Still lope a little?

Yea but in town in BR is like driving in New york CITY!!!!

Way too much traffic and too many redlights.

You can see the reflection of that in your HWY mileage lol.
