Crane Cam 216/224

Oh Seat of the pants.... It's nice! You can really feel it in the dead zone you know that 50 to 80. she moves that's for sure

nice gains! hopefully ill see similar improvements when i go 224/224 or something similar. how does it feel sotp wise? idle sound/quality? street manners?

what cam would you guys reccommend for my app????

[ThumpinZ]

Depends if you want good tq through the range or just want to say hey I made this much hp! TQ is where it's at. Different cams make different power and show there colors in the rpms. You have to decide how do I want this motor to perform? Do you need high end low end mid range power. I call Vinci when I was choosing my cam and they pointed me to exactly what I wanted. Cams are the heart of your engine and more complicated than any girl your ever going to meet. Just because one cam may create more peak hp doesn't mean it's going to move you the way you want it to.

Sounds like an image to me.

It does... almost like it's not even running. Hey we don't allow police interceptors on this forum...

Not sure why that didn't work, but I changed it to a link instead.

hey ThumpinZ,
Have you hade your tune dialed in after the cam install? I ask because I was reading “truckin” magazine volume 36 #9 (this months GM vs ford vs dodge) and came across a project of there’s called "novakane" were they took a 04 sierra with a 4.8 5 speed (with slipping clutch so say the article) with over 110k on the clock and are building a sport truck out of it. they have much of what you have but different makers. On the 4.8 they have
banks monster exhaust
bank torque tube headers
banks ottomind programmer
(seeing a trend here)
banks ram air intake
and it put down 257hp and 286tq at the wheels after the mods
now i know you have higher miles then that truck and a auto trans but you also have a 5.3 to his 4.8 and a cam and h pipe
Not trying to pick a fight, just trying to make sure you get all the HP your paying for

yeah lol...but you answered all my questions already anyway. thanks!

Those numbers were after all mods and tune. I did the install myself, just had MTI tune it. I'd like more I would atleast to make 300 to the wheel before she is retired for a 6l
