wrong....dont "need" a stall with this cam...im running it in a ECSB Z71 with stock converter and its good off the line....need 4WD to hook at that. A 3K stall would put it in the better part of the powerband sure but a stall is not needed. I would reccomend LT's with this cam though
There are plenty of people with duration number at 220 or higher who run stock stalls and say it " not soggy down low"...
If you like it and makes you happy.. more power to you!

Exactly what I was looking at, I don't care if it sounds cool in the driveway or makes 800 hp at 6500 rpms (thats a joke, just exageration). I want it to make more power down low, I am not ever gonna run my truck up to where the big cams make their power Tire shredding tourqe, sotp is what matters to the daily driver trucks. I can still see by the graph though you still need somewhat of a stall convertor to make good use of its power though.
What is the stock stall speed and some other options.
Like the tb one, aftermarket, etc. I know the tb one can be had for only like 200 bucks or something.

Save your money on the tb.. and buy some beer and go to town on that tb

I just spent 2minutes trying to figure out how he would re-stall his convertor with sandpaper and a dremel.
he means a Trailblazer (tb) stall convertor, that would stall in the 2600-2800rpm range

No question about no replacement for displacement, but take the good with the bad so to speak. I miss the loads of power no doubt, but the 4 doors are awesome with the kids, and I DO NOT miss the pain at the pump. Even though it was paid off I was paying more on two fillups for it a month than I am paying for a payment on this one and the gas. Insurance believe it or not was only about a dollar difference. I also tow not very often and at the heaviest 7 to 10k, nothing the gasser cant handle.

Thanks for the stall info though, I'll keep that in my head when I'm looking for cams in the summer. Never stalled mine up, around what would the stocker stall?

I did the tuning on his truck and have ridden it numerous times with the stock cam and now with the TR220 and this truck just rips out of the hole for not having a stall.
Maybe it's the tune
