Default Experience with TW21 in TC88?

I am looking for anyone who is running Adrews TC21 cam in a 88" I would like to know how the torque is & if there is any flat spots in the performance.

The dealer suggested a SE203, but I am not sure if I will getall I can out of that cam or if I should go with a TC21.

First off the 204 is a much better cam than the 203. Ok, unless your milling the heads to bump the compression to at least 9.5, the 203/204 will be a dog in a stock 88. Now if you eventually goto a 95", mild headwork, and more compression. The 204 is the way to go. If you plan on staying 88", the 21 or 26 is the way to go.

I have 26's. It pulls great, but runs out of steam at about 5k. The 21's come on earlier and go out earlier. Personally, I would not care for that.
