I like the 216/220 a bunch. It's a great all-around cam. Really nice torque, breaks 'em loose in 2nd and pulls hard low to high.
But I want to try the Thunder Racing 224 everyone likes so much. It may not be better, but I would rather try it than sit and wonder if it would be better or not.
So if anyone spots a 224/224 for sale (or trade for my Comp 216/220) please let me know. :thumb:
Make sure you check ls1tech.. they are always for sale on there..
Yeah I've been looking on my lunch. There's a TR227/224 I'm wondering about. Curious if that would work since I have the ram air stuff going on.

A lot of people say stay away from the reverse split unless you are forced induction.. I didnt listen however :)

You have the reverse? How do you like it? Specs?
its a comp 234/230 598/591 115+1
I like it so far.. dont have my stall installed yet so its a pig down low, but it pulls like a beast up top.. If i could get in touch with Allen I would be in good shape.. doesnt like to idle and hes got me locked out lol..
I don't recall the purpose of the reverse duration...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(DamnYankee @ Apr 20 2007, 01:53 PM) [snapback]90754[/snapback]</div>For the above cam, that's a turbo (& maybe nitrous) setup. Speeds up the exhaust exit which gives more spooling.Quote:

A Procharger cam likes about a 10* bias on exhaust.
Thanks SC - I'll stick with an equal duration. Got a line on a 224, so we'll see...
Moze, if you remember the black Silverado SS that was in here when you were here?
We put a 228/228 .580 .580 117 in and he loves it. I went and drove it a few miles and it pulls great.
This is with no stall either. We went with that cam because he is getting a turbo next month and it will work great with FI.
Anyway, just a little more FYI stuff.

haha yea I saw your name there but didnt know if you got it or not.. Congrats.. those things are a beast..
Yankee, before you tear it down get the split casing timing cover. Lets you install a cam without having to retorque that DA*& crank pulley every time. Just take the top cam cover off, hang the chain so you don't drop it and off you go.....

Now Billy. You got me thinking I want a 224/224, now you say maybe a 228/228? Or were you just giving that for comparisons sake since he has the 6.0 and I hvae the 5.3? Stop confusing me! :duh: :laugh:
Just kidding. Actually Skeet is thinking about going bigger already and offered me a killer deal on his cam - the one you just installed I believe (224/224 on a 112LSA). So I've got my eye on that right now.
Are you saying you think I should go bigger than that even?

I've got the underdrive pulleys on the way, so I'll probably do the pulleys and cam at the same time. Plus, this is going to be my last cam. Ever. EVER. :laugh: :laugh: :rofl: :thumbdown: :duh: :lol:
um last cam ever, :laugh: yah rite
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(DamnYankee @ Apr 21 2007, 08:13 PM) [snapback]90849[/snapback]</div>So, this will be your last 4th cam? Are you sure? Anyone wanna put money on this?Quote:

Yeah put money on it! Then when I win, I can take the winnings and buy a new cam. :lol:

And wait...the bet is placed upon your 4th cam being the last. And if I remember correctly, you haven't purchased the 4th cam yet? (First being the stock cam, 2nd being the Futral, 3rd being your current Comp cam, and the 4th--TBD) I made the comedic wager that I don't think it will be...so the bet is on the 4th cam being the last. And so if your win that bet, you therefore do not put any more cams in your truck. So, with your winnings from the bet, you go buy a 5th cam (here is where I started laughing)--completely negating the fact that you won the bet that the 4th cam would be your last. Now, with the purchase of the 5th cam, you loooooose(hehe) the bet. Making me the victor in this wager. Actually, we both win. It's just that in this instance, you win the battle, I win the war.
But whatever. I knew exactly where you were going by making the original statement of taking the winnings and buying a new cam. I thought it was hilarious! And I was merely trying to make a lame attempt to keep the comedic trip alive by trying to add a few funny words...but I failed.
Anyway, my cam is in. Comp 220/220 581/581 114 LSA with +3 degrees of advanced timing so the power comes in sooner. I need a tune badly so that the PCM can compensate fo the new air to fuel ratio. It runs good now that the PCM is "learning" the new cam... Valvetrain clatter is louder than expected. Oh well.

Your argument is moot. There can never be a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th "fourth cam" which is what your original wager was for.
Now I have an ice cream headache, thanks. :grr:
Anyway, yeah the clatter is from that high lift. I bet ya like it once it's all tuned. How's the low end?
OK, got my eye on a couple of cams...The Thunder Racing 224/224 .563/.563 on a 112 LSA and the Comp 224/224 .581/.581 (LSA unknown at the moment).
Opinions on which would beat compliment my mods and kick hiney from a 20 roll?
One vote for the TR .563 if you have Comp 918 springs.
I do.

Ice cream headaches are wayyyyy better than a Slurpee head aches--those suck!!!!
I really can't comment on the low end yet because I need to have the tune done. It does pull well up top, but I really haven't driven it too much since the install--maybe 50-60 miles. Once the tune is done, I will make sure I post up something --I got a few pics of the install. Danny (Sprayed 99) helped. He was doing a motor build and needed a valve spring compressor tool. I told him I'd run by TRT and see if Billy had one--he did and I just happened to be driving my truck with my cam and stuff in it when I went to go drop of the tool. Danny and I stayed up until 5 a.m. Saturday night installing mine. It was crazy. Thanks to Billy for letting Danny use the tool for his build--and since we had the tool, we did mine too!!!

Yeah I'm anxious to try it out. Gotta sell mine first though.
