How'd you like that 228R before you sold it? Did it make good power? What rpm range was the power strong in? Were you running a stall? Sorry for all the questions, but I think a 228R would be better than the 224R even though TSP recommended it. How streetable was it?

I've spent a lot of time on here and tech asking people about running that very cam on the stock stall. The general consensus was NOT to do it. Although a few people said they have run similar cams on stock stalls with no problem. I ended up selling the 228R simply because I ended up decided it wasnt going to be worth it with the stock stall.
