I have the a237 and am pretty sure I've commented on it a few times in the past. Do a search for "a237" or "a234" and you should come up with a few things.
To be totally honest, I probably wouldn't buy it again. It's priced awfully high, and you can have a nice slider built to your own specifications (which will end up being MUCH more suitable for your application than any off-the-shelf cam could ever be) for about half the price.
If I can say anything nice about it: it's got a nice, lopey idle, absolutely screams past 3500rpm, and has had no issues with emissions.

I got one and my impressions are pretty much the same as Steves. It dead below 3K and runs like a raped ape above 3K.
I have NO problem passing emissions with it and I make no special adjustmens prior to inspection

So would the 233 be a good stock replacement ? the only mods i have are cold air intake(6 inch k&n cone behind front bumper and manual boost control set at 15 psi(for gas mileage purpose)

I have the A234 and want to know if using a roller-type follower will damage/harm the cam. I got it on sale for $99.00.
