Blown 346 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 All motor, Blower? It will work well with a all motor setup as that cam makes power from low end RPM to High end RPM at 6600. You will have to replace the springs, and rocker arms for the best performance as well as pushrods. Then you will need a re tune afterward.

canadianVRss Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 don't forget about the little things, gaskets O-rings and 4 gallons of new coolent (if memory serves). Also, with a 112LSA that cam probably wont like a lot of boost, if thats your plan down the road. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I can't understand why guys keep telling other members that they need to change the rocker arms with a mild cam upgrade. The stock rocker arms are more than sufficient for that cam... Super 88, what are your goals for your truck? Depending on what your goals are, that cam might not be ideal. For information regarding the parts needed for a cam swap, including fluids and such, check my build thread "Cam Swap on a Budget" in the Builds section.

Muggs Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 With the 112 LSA it will have a nice lope at idle, get some LS6 springs and you can use the stock rocker arms no prob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comp. 220/224. .530/.534 lsa 112 I can get it used for $200 Thanks Need to know a little more about your goals like ET? For a NA motor is really pretty tame, which is cool, most guys want to run a 230 cam and have no idea what to expect from it. I would probably run a little larger cam but this one would be easy on tuning, easy on the stall and have no street issues at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown 346 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 You can use the stock rocker arms, but with this cam it is recommended to upgrade the rocker arms. This cam like higher rocker arm ratios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowsniper3006 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Great! then you you can tell me why you would spend the money on that cam and a set of full rollers when you could just buy a slightly larger cam and still be with in the acceptable specs of the stock rockers for less money?
