Cam Suggestions

[C-WAY]

Hey I was wondering if you guys could help me out...Im getting the 6 Liter soon and I chose not to get that 236/236 cam put in..It would be to lopey and would get annoying..Plus its a beast..

I was thinking smaller..Heres my setup when the engine goes in (I will put the cam in before the engine goes in)

-TB Stall
- Shift Kit w/ vette servo
- LS1 Fans
- Tranny Cooler
- 3.73s
- 42 Lb Injectors

Any suggestions on what size?

I want some lope..but not tooo much...and Some mid to high end power...

I would get that cam, and just tell the tuner to raise your idle. And, i would go for a different stall than the Tb stall, IMO

see the thing is this will be my daily driver for a while...Im gonna keep the TB stall until I get my ricer and then upgrade to a bigger yank...

if thats the case i would go big with the cam now, that way you only gotta replace it once.

or if you plan to actually keep the stall id consider a lingenfelter ls1-gt2-5
222/222 .566/.566 w 1.7 rocker 112 CL

i myself am doing an LS1 in about a month, i have my motor and the cam that i had was a MS3, well i chose to do the same thing your doing, down size, so im going with a TR224 adn a TT3000, im gonna trust all the guys over on PT.Net when they say a TT3000 is very streetable

i was thinking of a cam around the same size beast said...222/222 on a 112 lsa.

look at my mods with a 6.0 and the cam i have is bigger, i get on average 18-19mpg on the freeway at 70-75mph and if i keep out of it 14-16mpg on the back roads, go with the bigger cam and stall

[02CHEV]

why not the 224/224 112lsa. what would be the +/- over the 222/222 112lsa?
not tryin to jack your thread just wondering

too small, those are cam that are good for 5.3&#39;s, 6.0&#39;s love more duration and lift, i would go with a 236 cam, but this bigger cam eats up the nitrous and hits like a mofo and to still get better gas mileage then my dad&#39;s 06 SSS, the bigger cam will make the better power

yeah... big cams will make more power in rpms that are useless. there is a such thing as over camming a motor. sometimes smaller is better IMO. i honestly think your truck would run faster with a smaller cam. look at it this way. you have a bigger motor, better heads, a cam, 150 shot, gears, and a single cab over me but only put down 3/10&#39;ths better in the 1/8th than my stock cammed smaller motor in a ecsb with 3.73&#39;s.

with a way smaller cam than yours (should be here today) 4.10 gears (hopefully by the end of this month) and a 150 shot i would hit 11&#39;s no problem in my fat ass ecsb. ill be happy if i get as great of gas milage as you do(nice milage BTW) but im sure ill be more drivable. just my opinion. i would consider your cam for a 408
