231/ 235 Cam

[skeet]

I wish I had a graph of how this cam performed on a dyno to see where the power comes in and leaves. I know your truck ran strong on it, but I don't have 4.56 gears and I'm pushing a LOT more weight. I feel like it doesn't have enough split for what I'm interested in. Who spec'd it?

maybe this graph will help, this is when i had swapped intakes, the l92 truck intake to the F.A.S.T LSXr car style intake, if you look at the graph where the torque comes in quick or at lower rpms thats the truck intake, the further the torque is in the rpm range thats with the FAST intake..


i wont go into big detail as im just giving you an idea as our cams were pretty close mine being a 232/238 609/612 advertised duration was 230/236.. once again just giving you an idea.
by the way thats in a 6.0

Looks like if I spin to 6800 or so it'll be okay. Hoping I have enough gear for it.

what gears you running now? lesss than 4:10 or 4:10 either way, you should be fine, i wouldnt worry so much about gearing id worry about the stall

Truck has 3.42s with a 6l80e and a LOOOOOOSE 3400 Circle D. Flashes to almost 4000.

and he has a nice stall...also the 6spd ....when i was undecided i was actually going to go down to 373s...but now went with 323s instead for the boost

gears are your friend eiher way you look at it you'll need them, BUT like you mentioned you have to look at the weight of your truck, if your stall is that loose all BS a side that cam just might work for you.. dont be scared of rpm, 6000-65-67 would be a great pull in that truck..by the way a good dyno will tell the tale on whats needed !

hell Zach's a great guy might wanna try before you buy lmao!!

Haha. I'm a little ways off from getting it in. Still gathering a few parts. Honestly I'd spin it to 6700-6800 and that's it. I just can't afford to put two sets of gears in right now.

only downfall to being 4x4 anything else is a plus.. youll be fine at that rpm its not like you stay in it all the time
