evandostert Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 both are too big 3.73's and big tires. Look at the cam sticky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 both are too big 3.73's and big tires. Look at the cam sticky Too big? OP: ive run the 224/230 on a 114lsa and it was great, definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for a cam would good pull mid-high rpm and nice driveability. I'd go with a 3200-3400 stall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanneugebauer95 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 The tires are stock height just wider. I'm going with a 3200 stall so why is it too big? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 both are too big 3.73's and big tires. Look at the cam sticky Negative on this...... There are several trucks on here running similar cam specs including my own, either one of those would be a healthy choice I would think.....Cam guru's step in please.....

shadowsniper3006 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 224 cam is about what i always say for most NA trucks. For our trucks a 3200 stall would work great, a 3400-3600 would be about spot on, but if you have the 3.73 gears you will need more converter to really make it hit hard and 60 foot. But thats if you want the best ET you can get, really a 3200 stall will still be very fun. I ran a 224 cam and a crappy 2900 stall and it took a second to get to the power band, but it still cleared the intersection faster then most cars i raced, again the gears are going to hurt when compared to the 4.10s, not to mention wider/heavier tires. For sound you would want the 112, for performance i would go with the 114 on your truck. The 114 will require less stall because it has more off idle power, the down side is it will also shift higher(minimal) on a 114 but with stock heads and a 224 cam....don't worry about shift points. My cam was a 113 FYI. i would get the valve events for each of the cams, or call the seller, and figure out the dynamic compression ratio of each cam before you buy one. I would go with the cam that has a higher DCR number since your not increasing the compression of the motor. This will also help off idle power and stall needed.

ryanneugebauer95 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 well yall helped a ton. im trying to get some 36lb flex fuel injectors now from a guy on pt.net and hopefully that works out too. after all yall said i am definitely going with a 114 lsa.. some people said 113 will sound better and still perform as good as 114. if thats true then ill go with 113. but if not then 114 it is. thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 228 on a 112, people know it isn't stock, love that chop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanneugebauer95 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 i want mine to chop a lot too! you have a 228r on 112 and only a 3k stall.. i know you have 4.10s too though. i want it to turn heads at red lights. and still perform the best that it can though. if yours is a 112 then maybe i should go with a 113? i was told by my buddy thats also on here (zachm89) i think thats his name that a 114 would chop good too. i think a 113 would be a good medium that should still chop pretty decent and perform. but idk much about this so tell me if im wrong haha.

My truck has factory 3.73's in the rear, and I just uprgaded to a 3400 stall, the 3000 wasn't enough for the cam. The LSA you choose all depends on what you are looking for......performance? Chop/sound? Or future mods like forced induction? You really should talk to a cam guru like Zippy, Brad(shadowsniper), or Krambo, they can send you in the right direction......

RevolutionRaceWorks Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Ahh the overwhelming chop debate haha. What's your end all be all for the truck are you going to go to a better flowing head later or or add boost? cubes? I would move on something that's going to give you everything you can get with the mods you have before I worry too terribly much on the sound. A little chop is okay but all in all my main concern would be your goals. My current cam has a healthy lope to it but it was picked to get the most torque at the low end out of my setup as possible.
