TR220 on a 112LSA would probably be fine with that TB converter, plus it'll put down some nice numbers.

I'd say give or take a little, .5 with a decent tune sounds about right.

216/220 on a 114lsa or try something different go with a 222/222 on a 114lsa. well that is if you plan on spraying nitrous one day. if not go with a 112lsa.

if you want to be a man and break almost new grounds try a 226/226 in that 5.3. i know of one other member on here has done it but i would say get a higher stall converter and gears. what do you want out of it?

keep in mind too large of a cam without heads you aren't going to gain as much imo. my worked heads really woke my 224/224 up. now the intake manifold is the weak link.

give me a call and tell me what you want to do and i can better help you. otherwise you could run 20 different cams and have good gains. but only a handfull will do what you are wanting it to do.

I run the 226 226 cam, a 2500 stall and pull 1.73 60' times, a higher stall would help some, maybe lol

I would say 226.... put it with a 3K stall and some 4.10's and you'd be moving... get those heads worked over and you'll be running even better
