BenKey Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I'm not a cam guy, but would say it's a little large for the stock 6.0L cubes. Definitely would need a stall converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quik Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 thats not a large cam for a 364. ive seen larger cams then that in a 346. that cams power range is worthless for you in your SSS or equilant. its peak hp is way to high up there if thats the right specs. you would want something with a lesser amount of rpm range for a DD or even an heavy SSS. you would lose some lowend and you need it knowing that an SSS is heavy pig of a truck. also the stock intake isnt effeicent enough up beyond 5400rpms to properly support that cam. you would be starving and hurting in power mor then you would be making. you would have to swap intakes out to somethign that coudl breaht that high up in rpms. also i would suggest going steeper gears with a cam that has a rpm that high. in hte end its just wrong for what you want it for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 346 comment that motor was also an f-body or vette that weighs 1500 less. They run t-rex cams all the time but for some reason I dont think it would work in a SSS. Also the truck intake is fully capable of flowing enough to make that cam work I have a truck intake on my 418 with a much larger cam then posted and its doing just fine. You can gain some hp by going to a diff intake but is NOT necessary. I would recommend something in the 228 range with a 3K stall. That setup would really wake up your truck.

zippy Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Comp Cams 54-428-11 at .050 duration 238 230 112 * .571" .573" 2200 7200 rpm is this to much for daily driver what do you recomend if not this one thanks dustyn that should be a 228/230, not 238/230. that cam certainly isn't too big for a daily driver, but it's going to need at least a 2800 stall or more to be effective and alot of programming to get the idle to be comfortable withing being real high.

Krambo Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 You guys make my cam look like the fairy godmother's magic wand. I think I have an insecurity issue with the size of my cam 214 / 222 .559 / .566 on 115LSA She has been working great for my application though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 though i would say its a little smaller than what id run My personal taste would be to run more duration but with less overlap (wider lobe center, like 114-degree). Assuming 228/230-112, make sure you have a very efficient exhaust side because you only have an additional 2 degrees of exhaust duration, long-tubes + catback will be a must with that cam IMO. Mr. P. edit - in addition to Zippy's recommendation - 2800RPM converter and tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Lamanna Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Your cam is fine to drive daily. If your not going to be running a super charger/turbo stay with the smaller lobe seperation of 112. I drive my sss with a 230/234 596/600 but i have a stall and computer work to go along with it.

BenKey Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 What it all comes down to is tastes. My cam is not the best daily driver to some, but for me it's fine. At very slow speeds, say under 35mph, a large cam makes a truck sound like it has no low end (at least in my exp), like it doesn't like the low speed. That is not true, but it kind of runs and sounds that way. Of course, barely touch the throttle and snap your neck. So I would say if you wanted to go with a cam that big, it won't sound anything like your stock motor at low rpm and it will need to idle higher - so it won't sound the same when it is stopped either. Where it will make up for it, IMO, is when the pedal is mashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
