The first cam looks very similar to the one I have, and I love it! I had it for a few months prior to the front mount and was very happy with the performance!
bump any more input guys????
have you looked for any cams that fall in between those two? like the TSP220 http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/sale-...ant-tr224.html
i'd buy a bigger stall and go with a 224 since youre in a RCSB!!!
+1 on that! Minimum of a 3200 stall. Get the 224 on a 114 LSA.Quote:

Definately a sleeper cam. from initial driving, It hasent seen over 2500rpms but I can tel a large difference just easing into the throttle. I hope to have the break in done and tune on it by next week, I'll let you know.
the 222/224 with a 3200 stall and spray the house down.
what about this cam
Crane quick lift
216 in / 224 ex with 551/551 with a 115lsa
O yea and i do like the rumpy ass sounding cam but torque and extra power when i spray is also mucho important
That won't be too wild with the 115. do those quick lift grinds require Crane lifters? If so, get ready to pull the heads.
Bri--go with the 224XE TSP cam. Get the 112 LSA--You'll love it. And a 3000 stall minimum...3200 preferred.
10-4 on that sweet cakes..... I just figured having a cam with a split duration would help it exhaust better on spray. Planning on a 150 shot on a plate from Nitrous Daves......recommened by Virgil...
You're welcome Butter Cup! :luv: You'll love that 224XE... 5.3L motors respond to high duration cams more than high lift cams. The 5.66 lift is fine..and the 112 LSA will make it thump pretty well! :thumb:
OK, now you've come full circle. That's the cam I suggested to you in the first cam thread you started three weeks ago. And I still think it would be your best choice if you're spraying. It's the same cam that Vinci is now calling The Trucker. It sounds like this:Quote:

That Vette is idling a little fast, so it will be a little lopier with a slower idle and your smaller engine.
And you won't need new lifters with the quick lift cams. Their lobes have similar profiles to Comp's XE grinds.
Cool, thanks.Quote:

Im running the 212/214 High lift right now and love it.
Still sluggish in the bottom end but it deffinatly is noticible around 2500+ RPM. But i should note that i havent gotten my retune in so that should make it an even more powerful addition.
However if your going for a lopy sound than this isnt for you. With my Hooker Aero, its a very mild lope, almost not noticible however with the cutout open it scares little children!!
probally just go with the 224 from texas speed with the 112 lsa, cuz it will be a while after i do the cam swap b 4 i get the juice on it anyways......
