correct me if Im wrong, but from what I remember, I've seen lots of threads talking about those two cams.. (are they right?)
Wich one would work better for my truck?
Or any other suggestions? cause it was my birthday, and Im going to get me a cam and a stall because of it.. I just dont know wich one to get yet..
Any help would be appreciated!
THANKS!
Sorry About That! I Thought I Was On "racers Lounge" =/
or tsp220?? or ThunderRacing 220?? I think thats the cam Bluecajun is running, and he is making some great numbers! dayum.. There are lots of options.. just trying find the best one I can.. I guess just like everyone else..
i'd go 220 with the 5.3 the differences if not mistaken is the lift ones a 581 the other a 563

220/220-112 or 224/224-112???
Getting close to my final decision.. :)
in a rcsb with the right stall i'd go with a 224/563 112 lsa!!
where can I find that cam??? and what would be the right stall for it?
Found it, in ThunderRacing site.. Do you all think that I would need single valve springs? or dual valve springs?? 7.400 pushrods??
Thanks!!

thats another awesome cam, stall wise in a rcsb, now this is my own .02s but the stalls i have tried have been performabuilt and now PI, and they both felt like stock at cruising speeds until you get on it, i would get with Circle-D on the stall maybe they can guide you to the size you need, i would have to say a 3400-3600.
always been a fan of double springs PRC or patriot either will do.. added insurance if you ask me
when determining a camshaft, the best solution is to never contact a cam company or a reputable shop which carries camshafts. :D
so true to an extent, call more than one company, if not satisfied pm patrick G at ls1tech, hes well known for specting out cams
Im thinking of running the comp cam above but putting it on a 114lsa cuz i plan on adding :nx: later on along with a 3200-3600 triple disk stall
Buy them both and see which one works better. Give me the one that you don't like as much.
What do you guys think of this package??
Thunder Racing - Head & Cam Packages
I think this is the cam they are using, along with the heads..
214/230 .601/.575 117 LSA
Let me know what do you think?
What I think.
Im wondering what do you think?
Seems your disappointed with your track times, which suggest you may have a goal. Find someone that has achieved your 1/4 or hp/tq goals, bug them till they tell you their setup, then copy said setup or randomly pick parts for installation and ask internet strangers what they think, cause I can assure you, they care about you and have your best interst in mind and in no way with their thoughts be based on opinion with no basis. :D
Seems your engine is basically stock, a camshaft should be the last thing on the list of things to buy, as its the mechanical conductor that makes sweet music with the well selected orchestra (heads/headers/intake/TB/axle ratio/stall speed)...you go throwing a camshaft in it now, your conductor is gonna get frustrated trying to make a motley crue sound classical. :D
Ditch all that stereo crap and youll shave a second off your time. :D
Thanks bud! so, I have the Lt's sitting on the garage.. what kind of intake, TB should I look for??? heads?? axle, I have 4.10's and Im guessing stall speed will be determined by the cam that I select..
your stock intake should be just fine for now, in a 5.3 all you would want to swap onto it would be an ls6 intake. anything more would be allot of money for a little gain. go with the tr220 or tsp 220, I read allot and looked around at all the right setups for a long time and the guy's running bigger cams in the 5.3 never had any better times, and needed a larger stall to get off the line.
look into getting your tb ported, get a GOOD tune (non mail order) and if you have the money look into getting some better heads or having yours ported.
your rear end is fine as it sits, you shouldn't break anything back there with your setup. also keep in mind that a good set of drag radials or slicks can cut close to a second off your time, especially in a truck with no weight on the ass end.
will a reworked tb converter work with that cam???
keep your truck intake, the gains aint worth a flip for the ls6 intake for the price you pay for the conversion, the truck intake will keep your tq. where it needs to be. so which cam did you actually decide on?
thinking bout TR220 and TR224... there are just to many options man.. im just trying to choose the best I can.. just like everyone else.. what you all think?
dude we have given you all options and opinions, its time to just get this thing. it's your truck an ultimatly your decision. the tr220 will be perform better daily, and the tr224 might give you a few(and I mean a few) extra ponies, at the cost of a larger stall. you will want at least a 2500 stall for the tr220, and a 3000 for the tr224 and you would be better off with a 2800-3000 for the tr220, and a 3200-3600 for the tr224. I'm not sure what a reworked tb stall can go up to, but if can go to those ranges you'll be fine with it.
