zippy Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 There is a guy on the board running the same cam I have in my truck with a stock converter if I recall correctly. It is a nice daily driver and very torquey from what I understand. I've also sold this same cam to many other 5.3L and 6.0L guys. I would recomend a 2600 or higher stall converter with the stock cam and most mild cams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccgoodwrench Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 How about a 220/222,5.66/112lsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 That cam would work very well. Here is another good choice. Trick flow cam # TFS-30602002 I'm going to try one of these in an SSS yet. If you keep the lift below .580" I'd recomend going with the LS6 springs. They haven't had much issue with breaking, they run very quiet, and have less false KR* problems.

Zippy, is that cam big enough for my all race set-up? I'd be willing to try it in my SSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js_silveradoSS Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 112 lsa will have a aggresive idle. How bout a 224/230 .571 in. .578 with 114 lsa. comp cam 54-444-11. I am gana use that with a set of L92 heads. U will still need a little more stall. 3000 is a good area for the heavy SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbarnes Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 thats very simular to the cam i installed 220/224 .581 112. Zippy did the tuning through the mail. tbtc waiting to be installed. if i dont like it ill go to a yank 2600 or 3000. i love the cam seems to hit power band at about 2500. nice lope and the tune is spot on nice steady rpms at idle. installed the cam b4 the pcm so that first time i cranked it was cool it loped so hard it wouldnt stay running. anyway id take zippys advice and get that cam.

For what you're looking to do with your truck, that would be an excellent cam. It would work very well with your stall and have shift points of around 6400/6200.
