mbarnes Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 id go with something along the lines of my cam. although you could go with one that has less lift and use ls6 springs(much cheaper than 918s). i drove mine for a while w/o a stall and had no problems. you will def. need a tune (zippy). also about your plugs, youll need to check with someone that knows more about them but i think the tr6s are for nitrous setups. i have tr55s in my truck. there is a good write up on ls1howto.com on the cam swap that lists everything youll need. good luck.

js_silveradoSS Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) The main thing in looking for a cam is LSA (lobe seperation angle) That is the value that determins the lope sound at idle. If u want a like stock idle u want a LSA of around 118. Down at 114 and 112 has cam studder at idle and require a stall due to the raised idle to keep it running. I had a LPE GT2-3. 207 in. / 218 ex. 571/578 lift LSA 118.5. It idled smooth ad had good all round power. On the plugs a lot of LS engine owners use these. Great plug. TR6 are a heat range lower than stock. That allows the engine to run a little richer with the cooler plug.

jim_tucker Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 also would the gt2-3 cam work with nitrous or blown set ups because i would like something i could use later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 also would the gt2-3 cam work with nitrous or blown set ups because i would like something i could use later on Yes the Lingenfelter GT2-3 is meant for FI setups as far as I know. The NGK TR-6 plugs are best suited for FI and NOS setups, the TR-55 is best for NA applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 What are your goals with the truck, future mods, current mods, and uses for the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_tucker Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 What are your goals with the truck, future mods, current mods, and uses for the truck? well im at some point i want to supercharge but im 19 and cash isnt free so the spray looks more like an option. but im looking to keep the truck pretty much streetable because i live in the city and im not looking for anything thats going to be to hard to go back to stock because of the strict emmisions where i live (d.c. area) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
