That sounds good, ill check out the sites and see about 212/218. Ive read on this forum about nelson tuning, not really familiar with it though. Im in Ga, and didnt know where there located at. Would i need to take the truck to them or just send off the computer? Most shops around here have lots of buisness, but there charging like $450 plus for a tune! $300 is a heck of a deal from my standpoint and the free retunes for later mods or whatever sounds awesome.
i got on the texas speed, and thunder racing site found 63-ls-212/218 cam seemed to be a good candidate, couldnt seem to find the lift specs on the site or anything, and also it just said works well with crane rockers. nothing about spring recommendations, and i couldnt find a cam kit that cam with everything in one bundle.

I would suggest getting just a 212/218 low lift cam, LS6 springs, and pushrods separately if you are going that route as you can find the springs for 70$ and rods for 110 there by getting you in under 500$.
With NP you just order the tune with all your specs. They send a freshly tuned PCM to you and you mail your old one back. No down time and very simple as you only pay shipping on the PCM for retunes.

Sounds good to me. with this set up would the 2600 stall be too much? If so its no big deal bc as of right now i havent bought it yet a friend bought it for his truck and never used it, so i was going to get it at a good deal.
That would most likely be a great stall for that cam although if you are getting a 2600 stall. Although personally if it is in your budget I would get a bigger cam to match that stall. A jump to say a tr224 or something like that wouldn't be out of the question with a decent stall like the one you are talking about getting anyways. Just my opinion. To keep it on a budget stick with the 212/218 and ls6 springs. On a bigger budget with a stall go bigger on the cam.

Jared, you're on the best forum around! Im glad guys like Kerrige are around. Cam profiles are like black magic to me. Since you're gonna mod it, make it worth it! Go 224 and buy my converter. Nothing like having the grunt to go with all the sound! If you buy it, ill wire your new powertrain for free. Lol
Thanks man I wish I had half the mechanical ability you have with some of those sick swaps you have done.Originally Posted by vortecyota

2600 is too small for the 224.
A 2600 converter isn't worth its weight in piss in my opinion. 3200 or bust.

i appriciate all the input. And ill more than likely take you up on that offer Brint! lol there is a large range from 2600 to 3200 what gives? just preference?
Ls engines love to rev. The 224 is going to be a dog down low with a 2600. It needs more stall to get it up in the powerband.
