the 2001 LQ4 that i am droping in my truck, which cam should i put in instead of leaving the stock, i want to keep the gas mileage pretty decent, but which cam would you recomend. I am also wondeirng on just bolt on parts. I am going with aftermarket headers, and some pullies and i am polishing my TB. What else should i go with.
Project: 91' short wide:GMC front end update with billet grille and all clears, 17x8 & 17x11 Torq Thrust II's5/7 drop, almost totally shaved and 93 Deville tailsFuture Plans: 2001 LQ4 6.0L & a T-56
DD: 98' 5 speed GT : Dumped Exhaust, CAI
224/224 ish, the 6.0's can take a pretty large cam and still be streetable
99-T-ReX v.2 Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft - T-ReX v.2 - 242/248 - .608/.612 - 110 lsa 3500-6700 RPM Power Band. Violent mid-range & high RPM power. Requires computer tuning, 4000+ converter on autos, 4.10's or greater on manual trans cars. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended. Due to the extreme nature of this camshaft, piston to valve clearance must be verified when using modified cylinder heads.
if you want good gas mileage then go with the tr220
11' Sierra 6.2 NHT
14.46@91 Stock
89' Mustang LSX
10.35@130 pump gas LQ4

Wow, that cam sounds like the one in my truck.

The T-rex camshaft is awesome but makes the stock cube ls1s sound like a popcorn machine
TR220 for a nice bump in hp or TR224 for a lot bigger bump in hp but less mileage you wont notice too bad of a mpg drop with a 6L and that cam. PM SCIV he has teh TR224 in his LQ9.
2007 CCSB Z71 VortecMax: Stock!
Yep....TR224 here.
GO BIGGER!!!
Gone, but not forgotten!
Have you had any drivability issues with the 224 cam and what brand did you go with? How about gas mileage and what performance increase did you see? What tune did you go with? I'm thinking hard about getting a cam for my LQ9 and havn't decided on which one yet.Originally posted by SCIV@Dec 12 2005, 06:48 PM
