Cam PERFORMANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[02slammed6.0]

I have 2wd 02 rcsb with a lq4 6.0, comp 224/224 581/581 112, comp 918s, tsp 7.4 p/rods, e-fans, k&n cai, 8.1linj., tb spacer, pacesetter longtubes, ory pipe, cut-out, 4l60e, 3800 stall, 4.10 gears. I want more performance and faster track times. This is not a dd only a weekend street/track truck. So far my personal best is 8.0's with a 1.84 60 with the old TCI 3000, 3.42 gears and 26" m/t dr's shifting at 6000rpms. I would like to run mid 7's in the 1/8 with my current mods with a new cam. What about the 226/226 584/584
112+4, tr228, or ms3. What would be a better cam?

If you're shifting at 6000 RPM with that setup, you're leaving a lot of your cam's power on the table. With a 224 duration cam you should be shifting closer to 6500 RPM. I agree with the others - go mid 230's with the new cam. A 226 will not perform much differently than your 224.

Would I be better of keeping the 224 and turn it harder and buy a set of 243's.

[Madd Maxx]

The LQ4 already has LS6-style heads (317), with a bigger combustion chamber. Just mill the heads and you'll have 243's. I would definitely get another 1/8-mile time shifting at 6500 RPM before changing anything.

Nitrous is always an option.

Call Melissa about a tune.


I did not see any note about tuning, but I am old.
