zippy Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I AM NEW TO THIS SITE I HAVE 6.0 THAT IS GETTING A STROCKER KIT 408 WITH 8.6 CR HEADS PORTED AND POLISHED VALVES INTAKE 2.04/EXHAUST 1.6 SHORTY HEADERS 112 MAGNA CHARGER WILL UP GRADE TO 122MP SOON 1.8 CRANE ROLLER ROCKERS TRANY IS FULLY BUILT STALL CONVER 2500 OR TRAILBLAZER CONVERTER CURRENT CAM IS FROM CRANE CAMS 210/218-.533/.533-112 WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMEND IN THE CAM DEPARTMENT STAY WITH WHAT I HAVE OR GO BIGGER? STOCK RIMS ALSO PLAN TO RUN ABOUT A 100 SHOT OF NOS STILL IN THE BUILDING PROCESS GIVE ME A SHOUT / If you are still in the building process you may want to re-think your choice of compression. That MP122HH isn't going to be able to put out enough boost efficiently for a compression ratio any where near that low. For a cam I'd recomend the 99-TR-BLOWR-CAM. In a 408 this will have very little chop to the idle, but enough to know that it isn't stock. With this cam you should be fine with a shift point of around 6200rpm. The specs are: 214/230 .601/.579 117 LSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Help me out Zippy! Year of truck: 2003 Model: SS Trans: 4L65E, shift kit, servos Converter: 3200 Gear: Stock Tires: 305/40 22 for now List of current mods: P&P Throttle body, long tubes, no cats, speed density tuned, e fan, plug wires, three inch exhaust dual Magnaflow racing muffs dumped under the cab. Possible future mods: Cam, heads, pistons, TB, car intake, electric water pump Goals for truck: Consistent low 13's, consistency for bracket racing. Uses of the truck: Bracket racing only, towed to the track. No street use. My recomdendation for you would be the Comp Cams XR281HR with a set of Patriot Dual Golds. Another option I might recomend for you would be the Texas Speed TSP 228R on a 112 LSA also with the Patriot Dual Golds. Either cam is going to keep your torque low enough that you won't fight getting it to 60' hard every time like it currently does. Both cams should 60' well and pull all the way through the big end. With what you use your truck for either would be an excellent choice. Spec's are XR281HR...228/230 .571/.573 on a 112LSA TSP 228R is a 228/228 .588/.588 on a 112LSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Year of truck:2003Model:Sierra Denali Trans:4L65E Converter:Stock Gear:4.10 Tires:265/75/17 List of current mods:CAI,160*T-stat,BBk 80mmtb,msd 8.5 wires,E3 plugs,flowmasters Possible future mods:LT headers, tb or other stall, milled p&p 317 heads, roller rockers, ud pullies, Goals for truck: good street manners but would like to be able to run in th 12's or 13's, lopey idle and hold its own with most cars. Uses: DD never towed anything, heavyiest thing i haul is a four wheeler Your truck makes for a bit more of a challenge with the current mods and future goals. I'd recomend the Trick Flow cam TFS-30602002. This cam will work with a stock converter. It will not get you any quicker in the 60' time, but it will pull much better after that point. You will find a lope to the idle as well as great daily drivability. I'd recomend at least a 2600 stall to go with it if you decide to buy a converter down the road. Specs are: TFS-30602002...220/224 .575/.575 112LSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm about 20 pm's behind guys so bear with me. I'll try to be on this again this weekend. JJ, that is more duration than I'd run with your truck being more set on being consistant than fast. I'd also recomend the LSA be 112. That is just my opinion though.

03_SS_22 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Year of truck: 2003 Model: SSS Trans: Stock Converter: 3200-3400 n/a then it should stall 3500-3700 with the turbo. Gear: stock 4.10s Tires: 285 50 20 List of current mods: longtubes, full exhaust, CAI Possible future mods: built tranny by danny, front mount turbo Goals for truck: see what i can get out of it then go built motor with boost (then of course get a diff cam) Uses of the truck: dd/strip (no towing) also can i get it with a little bit choppy i know i cant get like a 112 lsa but just wanted it more aggressive than stock Edited May 2, 2009 by 03_SS_22 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1998chevy1500 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Year of truck: 2002Model: 1500HD LQ4 6.0L Trans: 4L80e Converter: Stock (and I plan to keep it that way) Gear: 4.10 Tires: 285/70 r17 List of current mods: Bassini Mid-Length Headers, Hooker AeroChamber Muffler Possible future mods: 243 LS6 Heads to bump up the compression (should bring the compression to stock LQ9) this would be done at the same time as the cam swap Goals for truck: Make my daily driver more fun to drive. I am really looking for idle to 6k power. Particularly more gain from idle to ~4500. I do not plan on revving it over 6k. Uses of the truck: Mostly Daily Driver. Minor towing. Need whatever I do needs to last me another 100k+ miles. I have considered the Comp XR265HR...212/218 .522/.529 114LSA 112ICL, however some comments I have read seem to suggest it is just a touch too big for a stock converter. Reference this thread. So, my next thought was to go smaller, Comp XR259HR...206/212 .515/.522 112LSA 110ICL. While this cam is bigger than the stock one, I wonder if it would be too small to warrant the upgrade. Whatever cam I choose, I would like to use the Yellow LS6 springs for drivetrain longevity. Should I be looking for a more aggressive ramp rate? Perhaps something like the TR Old Man Truck Cam 214/220 .600/.523 115LSA +2?? Thank you for your help Zippy, Conrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noquema Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 My recomendation would be the Trick Flow TFS-30602001 cam. It's spec's are 216/220 .560/.560 on a 114LSA. The duration is mild enough to have a slight lope and yet will work with a stock torque converter. I would recomend a 2600 converter, but in a 2wd that might just make for a tire burner. That cam will also work well with a blower and a few guys on here are using that cam with a blower right now. Peak hp should be around 5600 to 5800 with a shift point of around 6200rpm. This cam is also good for a daily driver in that it isn't huge on lift which will help with valve guide, seat, and spring life. I would recomend using an LS6 spring with this cam. are those new comp thumper cams any good i luv the way they sound but im wondering if there any good performance wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
