Cam on feel the noise! (? for Allen & TRT guys too)...

[BEATERTRUCK]

we talked to him about the stall and he knows it will be a dog off the line if he does the big cam and no stall.

I'm probably going to pull mine out and replace it with something more boost friendly.
I believe it's a 214/216 - .560 114.
I just changed the exhaust from a straight 4" pipe to a 16" magnaflow and 4" tip, but before the exhaust was swapped, it loped real good, VERY NOTICABLE!
You really don't need a big cam to lope, it's mostly in the exhaust.
I did the same cam on a quiet exhaust and it was hardly noticable, but in mine, it lopes more than a 228cam.
It's a smooth lope, not a stuttery lope like a big cam has, it sounds very nice, I'll miss it.

I'll try to get the vid up, my stupid camera isn't connecting to the computer.

Allen, was that a sales pitch for your cam? (If so, yes, I&#39;m interested.)

If you, Billy, or Dustin could hook me up with something, I&#39;m ready to roll. Again, a used one is fine, I only have about &#036;500 to spend total including install (I realize it will be a little above that). I&#39;ve been looking on ls1tech, but still am not sure exatly what would work best. So if any of you guys spot something you think would do the trick (within the price range), I&#39;m all ears. I don&#39;t know which cam would fit the specs, but I would really like some more &#39;pop&#39; on the freeway for passing. And stuff.

And like Billy said, I talked to them and realize I will need springs and possibly pushrods.

I&#39;d really like to know how the LS6 cams compare to say a TR 220 if anyone can help out.

I need to get a few things done, then I&#39;ll pull it out and sale it.
If you&#39;re looking for something very soon, like in the next week or so, the cam won&#39;t be out by then.
The 224 cam is good, but you&#39;ll need a stall converter.
Personally, I like the ls6 cam, it pulls nicely in the mid and topend.

The stock rods should hold, but you&#39;ll def. need springs.

I got your pm, I&#39;ll give you a call first thing tomorrow.

see ya,
allen

It doesn&#39;t have to be in the next week. We&#39;re coming down to S.A. Friday - Saturday, so I was hoping to have a cam, get it installed, and a re-tune (if necessary?) during that trip. But that would require you working on the weekend which I don&#39;t expect (or recommend&#33;&#33. So, no biggie. I just really need to talk to an expert to get some schooling on cams so I know what I&#39;m looking for. With everything I&#39;ve put into this in the last few months, a stall converter is a little ways off. Another option would be finding a great deal on both and just getting them installed as I get the cash.

In short, I need some schooling and hopefully your guys help in locating a cam that will work (I&#39;ll obviously be looking hard too once I know what it is i&#39;m looking for). Ayway...I&#39;ll talk to you tomorrow. Thanks as always for the help and your time&#33;

I used to think my LS6 cam didnt need a stall until I installed the 2500 converter and went back to the track. I dropped nearly .5 seconds off my 1000&#39; time, and .4 off my 1/8 mile. Puttin around town its not bad without a stall, but at the track you really notice the diff&#33;

Well i&#39;ll give you my take on it as I have run bolth, The LS6 for about a year and the TR220 112lsa for a few months now.

I thought the LS6 cam was real nice. Drivabilty was A+ even without a stall. Pretty much plug and play, easy to tune as well. No real lope and left me wanting more power. But real good upgrade from stock.

The TR220 doesnt really lope once you tune it right. Dont get me wrong it dont sound stock at all and pulls like a freight train. Kinda reminds me of a race car when you get on it So if you want lope get a cam with a split duration. I ran without a stall for a month. With no problems but was alittle sluggish of the line for my taste. I put a Fuddel 2800 stall in it 2 weeks ago. Wow what a difference of the line. Only bad thing I can say about the cam is tunning is a major issue and will drive like ass without or untill you figure it out... jmo

Lope doesn&#39;t really matter to me. My main concern is getting more pull. Slow off the line doesn&#39;t bother me either (for now). I want some more mod-range power.

Allen, you said if I went with a 224 I would need a stall. Is "need" a definite or am I just going to notice some loss down low?

[metalmulisha777]

what would u guys reccomend more seeing as i prob wont get a stall atleast for awhile also i dont mind if it doesnt kick in till about 2000rpm becasue i usually drive in 3 around here because overdrive annoys me unless im on the highway i cant stand giving it a litttle gas and it does the "overdrive bog down" anyway the cams are tr220 112 or tr224 112

[metalmulisha777]

pretty much same ? for me
