Thanks. Most people say its a 6.0 go big 224, 228 or something. WCCH?

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but are y'all saying a 220 cam is "a baby cam" for a 6.0?

I would say so, I have a tr224 in my 6.0 and think it's pretty tame.

Did you get the high or low lift? Why?

If ur thinking about the 212/218 look into the lunati voodoo 60510. I ran it in my 5.3 no stall and loved it. Its on a 113 Lsa even more torque ealier. Ur gonna have a torqy 6.0...probably only pull to 6100. Mine pulled to 6200 but im a 5.3

I originally installed it in my 4.8, then went into my LQ9. I got the low lift for more torque and it worked well with LS6 springs. Price wasnt bad as well. Didnt want to go with a very high stall either. This is my DD so a TB TC was perfect for this cam IMO.
