New Cam!!!

[BSridenguy]

Its a manual, so i don't think i'll need the TC , haha and i want to keep it a manual, because there so much funner to drive, but i've been asking some friends, and talking to some other guys that are gear heads in the area, and they say the T56 would be a great tranny for my truck, but i'm going to have to have some patience to find one, because i don't want to fork out 2000$ for one of those bad boys. Lets just say i see tons of swap meets in my future haha. It'll be bad though once its bolted up, and then when i go with the 4.10's...... i'll love it, i know that much

So i finally took the plunge, and ordered a new cam today. I ordered the thunder racing 220/220-112 cam, with crane dual valvsprings. I also ordered some pacesetter headers, long tubes 1" 3/4 ceramic coated

Where did you order the headers from?

Oh damn--I completely overlooked the fact that you have a 5 speed currently and want to go 6 speed. DUH!!! What a retard I am...

I ordered the headers from this website right here. Pretty good price too. 500 bucks for the headers, and a y pipe.

I also ordered this bolt set for the headers from summit racing.

Its cool bro, i know you were just trying to help, and i appreciate it. Maybe you know about a pair of cutouts i should go with? I was looking at these Quicktime Performance 3" Electric Cutout
but only because that's where i ordered my headers from. I had heard that some poeple had problems with their cutouts opening too far or something? Does anybody have a company that they'd reccomend for Electric cutouts?

[txarkitekt]

Um...QP cutouts are so-so from what I hear. I have RaceReady Performance. They are awesome. RaceReady also has a lifetime warranty on their stuff---the main reason why I went with them (along with the fact that it is a better quality product...)

[BSridenguy]

Ya, those look like pretty nice cutouts. You don't have any problems with them leaking or anything do you?

what kind of cam did you use???

[BSridenguy]

i got a tr220/220 .551/.551 112 LSA, i've done some reading recently though, and some people say i should have gotten a bigger lsa because its a 4.8, and so i'll need the lower end. But i don't know other people have said the opposite, we'll see when i get it installed and take it to the dyno next week though

Nope, no problems at all. It seals tight every time. And it will even shut running at 3500 RPMS. You will not be disappointed.
