    hey guys i have a 99 NBS silverado ext cab stepside...
    im swapping in a LS1 and want to swap the cam for a decent lopey idle and im sure i will have to swap the TC as well...

    I like my TR220 and TB stall. It's actually a little small for the motor but works out great. I think you'll love a TR224 but the TB stall might be a little low for this cam though.

    You should check out this page; CAM Link

    CC 918 springs should work fine with that cam. I would probably go with something around 3K stall as well. Do you plan on doing any towing? because I wouldn't go that high of a stall if you do.
