    Question cam advice on a 6.0 build

    I have a 6.0 on in the garage waiting to be installed but I'm trying to find the right cam before I put it in. I use it as a dd so nothing huge. I was thinking at least around a tr224 or a tsp 224 probably 112 lsa

    The set up:

    -lq4
    -ported + milled 862's to 59cc ~11:1 cr? not sure
    -LS6 intake with ported tb
    -1 3/4 long tubes

    The truck is a ECSB with a 3000 stall and 3.90's....any track or dyno predictions?

    thanks

    I would say some where int he 230's range and 600 lift. If you are already going to be at 11:1 comp. Make it bad ass and by yourself the right cam the 1st time around.

    TSP228 at least, 224's are baby cam for 6.0's. Depending on how good your heads are, you should be right around 380-400 rwhp. For 1/4 mi times, if you can get it to hook and pull a good 60', you'll probably run mid 12's.

    stock? idk i ran a 228 cam with a stock stall it will drive fine and such just not much fun from a dig, but good for highway runs. you could run a high 230's with that stall just expect a bad 60ft unill you can get a bigger stall. Also dont think for a second that a 3600 stall is not daily drive-able i never noticed my 3200 was even a 3200 driving around town and i have a 4600 now

    I see what your saying, I'm thinking between a 228 and a low 230, i just don't want to have my cam's potential hiding b/c of my undersized stall. I'd get a new one now, but I just cant see myself dropping like 800 for a new billet converter at the moment.

    what would get me into the 12's?
